Lonely Planet review

One of the four sentinels opposite the National Auditorium, Latin America's first W is a 25-floor business hotel that's determined to break away from the stodginess of places like the JW Marriott or Intercontinental. The W dares to have fun. Fun is the future, and the W is definitely futuristic.

The fun begins as you cross the threshold and see a laser projection of the word 'Welcome' at your feet. It continues into the Whiskey bar (where a creamsicle martini will set you back 100 pesos) and even extends to the Wired business centre, with a deck for those who want to take their laptops outside. And if fun has a color, it must be red. Hallways are red, rooms are red, and the red-lit Red Lounge has red mats for chilling out. Transparent red partitions separate the tables at the Solea restaurant, which specializes in seafood à la mexicana. Rooms skillfully blend style, comfort and killer views, and feature goose-down quilts, high-tech entertainment and waterfall or massage showers (at the balcony end, which may appeal to exhibitionists). A spa takes up the entire third floor, and includes a 'relaxation pool' and temascal (pre-Hispanic sauna).
