Which Mexico City Neighborhood is Best for You?
While both Reforma and Polanco are fantastic areas for a stay in Mexico City, I thought I’d highlight some of the main features of each to help you determine which is best for you.
Reforma
Mexico City’s Avenida Paseo de la Reforma is one of the main thoroughfares in the center of Mexico City. It connects Mexico City’s Centro Historico to Chapultepec Park and the neighborhood of Polanco.
The Reforma hotels listed above are situated between Chapultepec Park and Centro Historico. Along this stretch of Reforma, there are many important, noteworthy monuments for which Mexico City is known, most notably, the Angel of the Independence.
Reforma is also an important business district, home to many international hotel chains, embassies, shopping centers, and more. With easy access to Chapultepec Park, the Centro Historico, and everything that lies in between, Reforma puts you within minutes of some of the city’s most prominent attractions.
Polanco
Often referred to as the Beverly Hills of Mexico City, Polanco is an upscale neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chapultepec Park.
Polanco is home to Mexico City’s most elite shopping and renowned high-end eateries, such as Pujol. It is also host to several impressive art galleries and museums, including the Soumaya Museum, which was founded by Carlos Slim and holds a collection spanning 30 centuries.
Polanco has gorgeous architecture and lovely tree-lined streets, which give it a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. While Polanco does have a business district, in which many hotels are located, overall, the atmosphere in this neighborhood is much more laidback than in the more central Reforma area.

Mexico Guide Books
This Mexico phrasebook will help you communicate, even if your Spanish skills are lacking.
This Mexico travel guide is packed with all the info you could ever need.
Accommodation
I use a combination of Expedia, Airbnb, and VRBO to find accommodation throughout Mexico.
Expedia is awesome for booking hotels and resorts, while Airbnb and VRBO specialize in apartments and villa rentals, making it a great place to find long-term stays.
Some cities in Mexico have more listings on VRBO than Airbnb (or vice versa), so it’s best to check both to find the perfect place!
Car Rentals
Rental cars add tons of flexibility to your travel plans. If you opt to rent one, I recommend using Discover Cars to find the best rates!
Flights
Skyscanner is my favorite tool for finding the best deals on airfare.
Travel Insurance
Never leave home without travel insurance.
SafetyWing offers super-affordable policies that cover things like medical expenses, trip interruption, and lost luggage. They even offer coverage for some expenses related to COVID-19.
World Nomads also offers excellent coverage that you can tailor to fit your travel style.

There’s no question that knowing basic Spanish is wildly beneficial in Mexico. It helps you stay aware of your surroundings, solve problems, and make friends!
