Lonely Planet Review

Quotes Crowned high overhead by an amazing stained-glass canopy crafted by Tiffany in 1908, the vast atrium is a fin-de-siècle fantasy of curved balconies, original wrought-iron elevators and chirping birds in zoo-sized cages. Rooms, for a change, do not disappoint in comparison to the public areas. Fringed curtains, plush armchairs and canopied king-size beds suggest a belle époque opulence. Though only the suites face the Zócalo, exterior standards are almost as good, with picture windows overlooking stately Calle 16 de Septiembre. An elegant top-floor restaurant serves Mexican haute cuisine while the broad rooftop terrace makes an unbeatable setting for brunch (served weekends).

Author Tip

Join the crowds of window shoppers along 16 de Septiembre or Madero streets. The latter boasts a veritable catalogue of architectural styles interspersed with the opticians and jewelers. In particular, check out the Edificio Esmeralda, at the corner with Isabel la Católica, now housing the Museo del Estanquillo, a treasure trove of pop culture memorabilia.

Curious Fact

Like the similarly aged Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Gran Hotel was constructed using a metal skeleton, an innovation introduced at the time by the Chicago School of architects.
