Tabacalera Heights

High above Mexico City, this home is instantly impressive – floor-to-ceiling windows frame the capital's skyline from the living room and main bedroom alike. The building adds serious depth to a stay: gym, sauna, steam room, cinema, and a kids' club mean there's rarely a reason to rush out. When you do, the Plaza de la República is a five-minute stroll, Palacio de Bellas Artes is a fourteen-minute walk, and Alameda Central – the city's oldest park – is just sixteen minutes on foot.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot, high chair, baby bath, baby monitor, and stair gates.
* You'll have access to the on-site gym, fitness centre, steam room, sauna, kid's club, cinema, business centre, and lounge bar here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* Mexico City is a large, busy metropolis, so some street noise is likely – particularly if you're a light sleeper.
* Uber and official taxis are the most practical ways to get around, and we'd recommend avoiding driving yourself given the city's congestion and complex routes.
