But to ensure a totally successful trip, a suitable hotel is essential as well.

Camino Real Polanco
This Mexico City staple was designed by renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta and is actually considered a hotel/museum because of its artistic relevance. Kids will be entertained at the three swimming pools and at Club Travesuras, where they can eat and hang out on weekends while their parents dine at the hotel’s many restaurants. Baby-sitters are available, too.

Hyatt Regency Mexico City
The whole family will appreciate this hotel’s convenient location in Polanco’s hotel district, close to tons of restaurants, museums and sights. But there’s plenty to love inside the hotel, too, from 24-hour room service and concierge to the dining options, which include Japanese specialties at Yoshimi to Latin cuisine at Rulfo.

Gran Hotel de la Ciudad de México
The 60 rooms and suites at this classic hotel boast antique furniture and décor, but they are equipped with all the modern amenities, such as 50-inch LCD TVs. WiFi, and rainfall showerheads. Located in the heart of the city’s historic downtown, it’s the perfect starting point for a family adventure.

Westin Santa Fe
Located in the never-boring Santa Fe neighborhood, this recently-opened hotel offers relaxation for the whole family in their lovely bedrooms, outfitted with their trademark Westin Heavenly beds (or Heavenly cribs, if you have a baby). Their Italian restaurant, Pinzimini, serves excellent pastas, but room service is available 24/7 if you’re too wiped after a fun-filled day.
