The lounge features a sofa bed (ideal if you’re staying in Mexico City with children or friends). A large desk also takes up space in this room, next to which are a connected speaker, a mini bar and a TV.<\/p>\n

In the bedroom, a king-size bed takes its place (it may seem cramped).

Regis, JW Marriott, and the W.<\/p>\n

At first glance, I wasn’t sure what I was going to find when I booked this Sheraton. The Sheraton brand strikes me as the most outdated of the 5 brands tested, and hotels often need updating.<\/p>\n

Marriott Bonvoy recognized this and set about renovating most Sheraton hotels around the world (one of the first examples is the Sheraton Grand Hotel Dubai, which Audrey featured here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Of the 5 Marriott Bonvoy hotels tried in Mexico City, the Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel Hotel<\/a> strikes me as the one that ticks all the boxes:<\/p>\n
