Mexico City, April 9, 2008 – Ancient Aztec pyramids, Frida Kahlo’s “Casa Azul,” and a half-day city orientation are among the activity options featured in the “Mexico City Sampler” package offered by the 209-room boutique Marquis Reforma hotel.

A centerpiece of the hotel is the 16,000 square foot spa, the largest in the region and the only member of Leading Spas of the World in Mexico City.  The hotel’s La Jolla restaurant is presided over by a chef honored at the illustrious Beard House in New York, and its new Los Canarios restaurant is already one of the City’s top power lunch dining spots, where live canaries serenade guests. Bar Caviar offers a chic ambience for cocktails with its sleek furnishings and a 20-foot high, dramatic and brilliantly colored hand-blown glass chandelier

 

The hotel's unique mix of contemporary and traditional Mexican painting and sculpture, as well as a collection of artwork that reflects the Art Deco designs of the 1930s and 1940s, enhances the charm and warmth of the hotel.  Its glowing pink granite and glass façade has welcomed international celebrities including Salma Hayek, Sting, Luis Miguel, Liza Minelli, Phil Collins, and Elton John.  All rooms and suites offer dramatic views over Mexico City’s rooftops or down Reforma Avenue.
