Last weekend we took a night at a nice, tarnished hotel in the heart of the city: Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico.
The Hotel itself was built in the beginning of the 20th century in art nouveau style. It is told that the hotel was renovated from 2003 until 2005. The main feature of the hall is the Tiffany stained glass on the ceiling which is just amazing! A huge chandelier greets the guests in the main entrance and if you are still not in the romantic mood, you will certainly get by the many cute birds (canarias) singing in two huge cages right in the side of the hall.
The rooms are also very stylish, not the usual simple modern style. You can feel like you have time traveled a century, just staying there.
The surrounding is beautiful as well: the hotel is on the main square of Mexico City, Zocalo. It faces to the Catedral and the National Palace, which gives a beautiful view especially by night. It is a (if not "the most") famous tourist site in Mexico City, so the surrounding are safe, the streets are with good atmosphere and full of souvenir (especially gold) shops.
