If you've contemplated the unique setting and still need convincing that this is the hotel for you, then take a look at the restaurant.

Immense picture windows overlook the Plaza de Toros, resplendent at night time with the spectacular illumination. Inside, the restaurant is arranged over three tiers, echoing the steps of the arena outside. Each table has a prime ringside view.

Heavy wooden beams, iron chandeliers and rustic paintings are softened by the white linen and tapestry-covered chairs. Service is appropriately formal for such an elegant setting.

But it is the menu itself that will entice you to stay: wonderfully exotic names and traditional Mexican ingredients prepared to the highest standards.

This is the place to be adventurous; if you've never tried baby cactus or pumpkin flowers before then now is the time. Of course, you may just be homesick for a choice U.S. rib-eye steak - and you'll find that here too.
