Emporio Acapulco Hotel is a three-and-a-half pearl hotel located in Acapulco’s Golden Zone. Set in the heart of the city’s nightlife and entertainment scene, the hotel offers direct access to Acapulco Bay and popular Playa Condesa. Its 422 rooms are cheerful and well-maintained overall, but the bathrooms and furniture could use an update. The three pools are gorgeous; two are reserved for adults and the third has a fun pirate ship. The restaurants are nice enough if a bit bland in terms of both food and decor. It’s worth comparing rates with the nearby Crowne Plaza Acapulco, which has similar amenities.

The Princess Mundo Imperial, formerly Fairmont Acapulco Princess, is a four-pearl resort located on a large, garden-filled property, seven miles from downtown. The hotel’s 1,011 rooms and suites are located in three towers. Rooms in the Pearl Tower are gorgeous, while those in the other two are in need of a refresh. The resort offers a dizzying array of restaurants, pools, and entertainment options, particularly if you count the facilities of its two sister properties, which guests can also use. The resort itself is buzzing with activity, yet some may find its location too far away from the downtown nightlife scene and there’s virtually nothing within walking distance. It’s worth considering the Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco for its more central location, or the neighboring Pierre Mundo Imperial for its more intimate atmosphere.

The Pierre Mundo Imperial, formerly Fairmont Pierre Marques, is an upscale hotel located in Acapulco’s secluded Diamante district. Its 229 guest rooms are large and offer views of the coast or the landscaped property, but the decor is drab and old-fashioned. Highlights include four superb restaurants, three beautiful pools, and direct access to Playa Revolcadero, one of the area’s prettiest beaches. For an extra charge, guests can use the facilities at two sister resorts, thus providing the advantages of a mega-resort without the chaotic atmosphere that comes along with it. As an alternative, Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco is an option for guests who want to be closer to downtown, but its beach isn’t as nice.

Formerly Crowne Plaza Acapulco, Gran Plaza Hotel Acapulco is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located in the city’s Golden Zone. Backing onto the sands of Acapulco Bay, the hotel is surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars, and beach-related activities. Guest rooms are appealing and the facilities are modern, but the crowds and generic decor are on par with mid-range expectations. Highlights include a swim-up bar in the sprawling pool complex, a modern fitness center, and live music. The atmosphere is perfect for those interested in high-energy activities and parties, but guests seeking romance and privacy aren’t going to find it here.

The Hyatt Regency Mexico City is a massive luxury hotel geared toward business travelers, situated in the well-heeled Polanco neighborhood. The property's extensive amenities include four on-site restaurants (including two upscale Japanese eateries), an indoor pool, and a 24-hour athletic club with three tennis courts, a sauna, a steam room, and a well-equipped gym. The hotel also has a chic business center with co-working space and tons of meeting and event space. The hotel's 755 guest rooms are nice enough, but comparatively a little disappointing. Decor is generic and even a little outdated, though units are spacious, meticulously maintained, and have upscale amenities like minibars, espresso makers, and 24-hour room service. For sleeker room decor, guests might consider the nearby JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City, though the smaller hotel also has fewer amenities.

Room Mate Valentina is the Mexico City outpost of the trendy Room Mate chain which caters to hip, young travelers who have aged out of the hostel scene but still want to save cash. The mid-range hotel provides 62 colorful pop-art rooms and suites with spacious bathrooms. Free Wi-Fi, a tiny gym, and a breakfast buffet served late (for an extra fee) are the only features on offer. The hotel banks on the fact that most of its guests spend their days (and late nights) exploring the party heavy and gay-friendly Zona Rosa neighborhood. Still, it would be nice if there was a bar on-site for those who want to mingle and have a cocktail.
