Hotel La Casona

According to recent travelers, the Hotel La Casona offers a boutique atmosphere in the heart of Mexico City. Originally opened by two Swiss brothers and their father in 1994, the 29-room property sits within walking distance of top sights like El Angel de la Independencia and Bosque de Chapultepec, plus a variety of shops, restaurants and theaters. To get around the immediate area, the hotel offers complimentary loaner bicycles. But if you'd rather linger on-site, don't fret: This boutique boasts all sorts of amenities. For business travelers, there's a business center and a meeting room, while lodgers in search of relaxation will enjoy the outdoor terrace, the reading room and the fitness center's steam bath. A restaurant with an eclectic menu of international and Swiss-inspired dishes, a wine cellar and a bar is also available. And as far as accommodations go, this boutique property's rooms feature traditional decor with art- or music-inspired accents and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, work desks and internet access. Though some past guests said rooms here are outdated and can get noisy if facing the street, many appreciated the comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms.
