TAILOR-MADE LUXURY TRIPS TO MEXICO CITY
Rough-hewn, cool and chaotic, Mexico City is one of the world’s great metropolises – and a place we never tire of.
Built over the remains of Tenochtitlan, once the centre of the Aztec Empire, it is vast, varied, and best explored by neighbourhood: leafy avenues and Art Deco architecture in Condesa; old mansions and independent shops in Roma; museums, parks and galleries around Chapultepec.
Come hungry: old-school taquerias and sprawling food markets sit alongside neighbourhood cantinas and some of the most ambitious restaurants in Latin America. The art scene is equally dynamic, from vast pre-Hispanic collections to the great Mexican muralists, and one of the most interesting contemporary scenes in the Americas.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN MEXICO CITY
Eat your way through sizzling street food markets with a local chef, explore the historic centre, and dip into independent galleries and boutiques.
We can arrange time with local curators and collectors, private gallery visits and access to artists’ studios, including the extraordinary home and workspace of Pedro Reyes and Carla Fernández in Coyoacán.
We can also show you a different side of the city’s headline sights. Visit the Anthropology Museum after hours with a curator, when the galleries are empty; take to the skies over the pyramids of Teotihuacán by hot air balloon, then explore a private passage normally closed to visitors; or have dinner in the gardens of Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s eclectic home in Coyoacán, after the doors have closed.
And where to stay? We favour charming little boutique hotels and guesthouses that promise peace and privacy away from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City’s busy street life.
