Since Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is so close to the center of Mexico City, the best place to stay is in the vibrant heart of the city, where you will find a large range of accommodation from budget B&Bs and apartments to luxury chain hotels.
Mexico City has over 300 neighborhoods to choose from, but we recommend staying in one of the central areas of the city, which are both safe and full of culture, restaurants and nightlife. Aside from Centro Historico, the Roma and Condesa zones are known for being laid back and fashionable, whilst the Polanco and Zona Rosa districts are more upmarket.
Where to Stay in Centro Historico
The center of Mexico City is packed with hotels, as it is the main tourist destination in one of the world’s densest cities. This does mean that you’ll need to leave plenty of time for your booking if you intend to visit during Grand Prix week, but there is almost an endless choice here, to suit all budgets. Staying in Centro Historico allows you the chance to see Mexico City’s most prestigious buildings, and to spend time exploring the food and local products on sale in the huge markets of the area.
For a mid-priced hotel with excellent facilities and good reviews, take a look at the NH Collection México City Centro Histórico. The hotel is in the heart of the center of the city, and offers a terrace, as well as either continental or buffer breakfasts. Around the corner, for a more luxury-level service and room, is Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton, which is especially loved by its guests for the rooftop swimming pool, and the very easy access to the city subway.
If you’re on a budget, you won’t find a better-rated hostel than Casa Pepe Hostel Boutique – CDMX, which offers American or continental breakfasts in the morning, has closets and private bathrooms for every room, and guarantees a community atmosphere that will get you in the mood for exploring the rest of the Mexican capital.
If you get on the metro at Zócalo/tenochtitlan, it’ll take you around 25 minutes to get to Ciudad Deportiva, the stop next to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Where to Stay in Roma
Roma is the hipster center of Mexico City, so if you’re looking for a Shoreditch or San Francisco vibe on your trip to the Grand Prix, this is the place to stay. Its recent popularity does mean prices have gone up in recent years, but the restaurants you’ll find here are second-to-none, and Roma has a spark and a sense of uniqueness.
For the budget traveler, the Hotel Monarca is a no-frills kind of place, which sits in the heart of Roma, and provides easy access to public transport. For a more luxurious experience, Xoma – Luxury Plus by Viadora brings you luxury aparthotel rooms in Roma, with spacious accommodation, full self-catering facilities and a continental breakfast every morning. This really is the last word in luxury, and though it comes at a price, it’s a stay you’ll remember. For a more traditional hotel experience at a lower price, the Stanza Hotel is in an impressive location, and comes highly rated.
Centro Medico is the closest metro station to most of the attractions in Roma, and from there you can get to the track in around 20 minutes, on a direct line, making Roma a great choice for people wanting a worry-free commute to the race.
Where to Stay in La Condesa
La Condesa borders the massive and picturesque Bosque de Chapultepec park, which features the zoo, the Museum of Modern Arts, and a beautiful lake, if you’re looking to escape from the bustle of the city for a few hours. All around the area, you’ll find prime examples of the Art Deco architecture that defined Mexico City in earlier eras.
The Green Park Hotel Boutique is a four-star luxury hotel with beds that are rated as excellent by guests, a roof terrace, world-class service, and a view of the park that is almost worth the fee itself. V65 Mx is more of a boutique experience, but for a mid-priced nightly rate, you’ll get plenty of interesting quirks and features, plus another great park view. If money really is no object, The Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City are right opposite the entrance of the park in La Condesa, and of course you will find your every need catered-to with these luxury titans.
The Diagonal Patriotismo and Juan Escutia stations serve La Condesa and it will take you 35-45 minutes to get across the city to the circuit.
Where to Stay in Polanco
On the north side of Bosque de Chapultepec park is the so-called “Beverley Hills of Mexico”, Polanco. This is where the majority of diplomatic missions base their embassies, and it is also home to vast expanses of luxury stores. If you want to live it up with the top 1% of Mexico City society, this is the place to base yourself for race week. The area is relatively safe, though as always, take appropriate precautions in Mexico City.
Of the luxury options at your disposal in Polanco, Las Alcobas, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mexico City is one of the best boutique hotels in the area, with superb staff available at any time of day, designer rooms, a spa, and two restaurants. Casa Polanco Hotel Boutique is a five-star hotel that pushes the envelope even further, with a terrace providing amazing views all around, and a 24-hour concierge service, plus boutique accommodation fit for a movie star. For a sensible mid-priced choice, take a look at the colorful and lively Casa Anzures S, where you’ll get service with a smile, and, with some rooms, a balcony with a garden view.
Polanco metro station will take you to the circuit from the district within less than 40 minutes.
Where to Stay in Zona Rosa
If you want to get a taste of the real Mexico City, and see the amazing nightlife on offer, you need to spend time in Zona Rosa. The Pink Zone, as its name translates into English, is the part of the city with the highest concentration of clubs and bars, and it is the usual hangout for the capital’s sizeable LGBTQ+ community. This makes it a remarkably inclusive and friendly place for everyone to spend time in.
The brand-new and design-led Hotel MX Reforma is a great four-star hotel close to the US Embassy, with a fitness center, and a choice of buffet or American breakfast. With a custom mattress, comforter, and specially plush pillows, you’ll get an incredibly good night’s sleep on race week in the five-star Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel, right next to the Monument of Independence in Zona Rosa. Meanwhile, for a stay to suit tighter budgets, we recommend the Ibis Styles Mexico Zona Rosa. The decor and breakfast won’t set your heart racing, but you will have a lot more cash left over for enjoying the city.
It takes around 35 minutes to get to the track from Zona Rosa, using Insurgentes metro station.
