The house
MarriottSurrealist glass tower
Floors 37 to 47 turn Mexican surrealism into high-altitude living, using mirrored surfaces to pull the cityscape inside.
“The rooms themselves, which start at $359 per night, are spacious and tranquil, with marble-clad bathrooms and a subdued color palette of dusty blues and grays.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Club-level concierges arrange private dining, and poolside attendants deliver hot teas.
Notable
Smoky ash palettes and reflective metals inspired by Mexican surrealism fill each room.
Notable
A graphite-encased lap pool overlooks the skyline, beside a zero-gravity treatment capsule.
What they say
Forbes Four-Star
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and The 50 Discovery.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are the star of every guest room, especially those that open onto a large, glass-enclosed balcony.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Paseo de la Reforma runs right outside, and Chapultepec Park's leafy grounds and national museums sit just across the avenue.
The rooms
Most rooms open onto private glass-enclosed balconies over the park. Bathrooms are finished in polished marble with separate soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated lap pool sits beneath a reflective black ceiling and opens onto an outdoor viewing terrace.
The spa and gym
Spa suites use local agave and cactus in body treatments, and the 24-hour gym looks out over the cityscape.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Samos Sabores Míos
Blue velvet booths line the 38th-floor dining room, which looks over Chapultepec Park and serves seasonal Mexican dishes.
Guests are lured in by the skyline views, with sleek rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, and select accommodations including a glass-enclosed balcony for added drama.
At the table
Carlotta Reforma pours tequila cocktails from its 38th-floor curved bar, and a musical ritual marks sunset each evening.
How it began
Design firm Chapi Chapo drew inspiration from Tezcatlipoca, the Aztec god of smoking mirrors, weaving reflective metals throughout the tower.
