This grand lobby also houses the hotel's travel agency desk. Make arrangements here for tours of the city, the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the University city and destinations further afield such as Puebla, Cholula and Cuernavaca. Air travel can also be arranged here.

Many of the important city sights are within easy walking distance of the hotel, so bring a good guide book and a map. Around the Zocalo you'll find the National Palace, Cathedral and Templo Mayor, the ruins of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán. The Alameda and Palace of Fine Arts are just a short stroll away.
