Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico
Ensconced in a former 19th-century department store, this recently renovated hotel has rooms furnished in a modern style. Its distinctive belle epoque lobby -- sumptuous art-nouveau architecture with a 1908 Tiffany stained-glass ceiling , chandeliers, gilded birdcages, and 19th-century wrought-iron , panoramic elevators -- is worth a visit in its own right
