Hotel Park Villa

The Hotel Park Villa is a charming hotel located right next to Chapultepec Park, a green space in the middle of hectic Mexico City. Built in colonial-style, its rosy-pink walls contain luxurious rooms and extremely friendly staff. A characterful small hotel, the rooms are full of personal touches, like hand-painted flowers over the beds, and the furniture has a rustic feel. There are 43 rooms available. The hotel is located close to Paseo de la Reforma (Mexico City's Champs-Élysées), the zoo, and local attractions such as the National History and Anthropology museums.

The on-site restaurant Jardin del Corregidor is popular, and its Spanish owners serve an array of traditional dishes. Enjoy your meal in their garden, where you'll be sharing the evening with a charming variety of birds, your fellow guests, and of course, two fully grown lions - which are kept in a reasonable sized pen.
