After a night at the The St. Regis Mexico City<\/a> and another night JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City<\/a>, I will spend my last night in town at the W Mexico City<\/a>. This hotel is also a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program. It is a category six hotel and costs between 40,000 and 60,000 points per night.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”173965″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]I preferred to keep my points and pay for my stay with my Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card<\/a> given the rate I got.[\/vc_column_text][vc_message]<\/p>\n

The W Mexico City<\/a> Hotel is located in the upscale neighbourhood of Polanco. It takes about 30 minutes to get there from Mexico City International Airport (MEX).<\/p>\n

It is adjacent to the JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you arrive in the lobby of the W Mexico City<\/a> hotel, you can feel that you are in a W hotel: trendy music, colourful decor, and a youthful atmosphere.<\/p>\n

I checked in using the Marriott Bonvoy mobile app.<\/p>\n

By negotiating via chat, I got a suite upgrade. It must be said that when I visited during COVID-19, the hotel did not seem to be very busy.<\/p>\n

I gave my Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card<\/a> as collateral and to pay for my stay there. With the Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card<\/a>, you earn 5 points per dollar<\/strong> for all your spending at Marriott Bonvoy hotels.<\/p>\n

This is the best credit card to have<\/a> if you stay at Marriott Bonvoy hotels frequently.<\/p>\n

A bartender served me a welcome cocktail.<\/p>\n

The suite is a nice size with large bay windows. Composed of a king bed and a sofa, we notice however that the furniture is not very recent (as well as the electronics).<\/p>\n

A Nespresso coffee machine is available, as is a mini bar.<\/p>\n

As for the bathroom, it has a shower and a bathtub on the left. And separated from the toilet using just a shower curtain. Surprising or even disturbing when you are a couple or with a friend (especially since the location of a sliding door is clearly visible).<\/p>\n

The W Mexico City<\/a> Hotel has an indoor pool in the spa area. If you prefer a real pool, I recommend staying at the nearby JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

The W Mexico City<\/a> hotel gym has decent equipment, and you can enjoy natural light during your workout.<\/p>\n

Since my flight to Montreal left early, I was not able to have breakfast at the hotel. I simply sampled a few dishes at dinner. Considering the price, I would recommend going out for dinner in the neighbourhood!<\/p>\n

So you’ll earn up to 17.5 points per dollar<\/strong> based on your Marriott Bonvoy status!<\/p>\n

And when you check out, pay with your Marriott Bonvoy®<\/sup> American Express®<\/sup>* Card<\/a> to earn 5 points per dollar<\/strong>![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Bottom Line” google_fonts=”” el_id=”bottom_line”][vc_column_text el_class=”links”]<\/p>\n

The W Mexico City<\/a> didn’t blow me away. The hotel is showing its age: from the corridors to the rooms and the gym, this hotel could use some renovation.<\/p>\n

So I wouldn’t recommend it at this time, knowing that there are better options in town. See our other reviews:<\/p>\n
