Our take
Our advice: book The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City for its wellness floor rather than for open-air drinks. The pool is indoors, with views over the city, so it works in any season, and the spa and fitness center sit alongside it. Rooms and suites are upscale, pets are accepted, and 2,176 reviews give it 9.4. If an open-air rooftop bar or a sunny terrace is the point of your trip, pick another hotel on this list.
- ✓Visit the indoor pool in the late afternoon to watch the city lights begin to twinkle across the horizon.
- ✓Consider booking a room on a higher floor for the most expansive and unobstructed city vistas.
- ✓Take advantage of the spa services after a swim for a complete relaxation experience with a view.

Why guests love itWellness was the point of the trip for a couple who booked the Ritz-Carlton, and the indoor pool with its city views became their favorite spot. They swam in the late afternoon as the light changed over the rooftops, spent an unhurried morning in the spa and ate in the airy restaurant before a drink at the bar. Their room looked out over the city as well. There is no open-air rooftop or sunny terrace, so outdoor sundowners mean going elsewhere.
