1. Le Blanc Spa Resort
An adults-only, all-inclusive resort in the northern part of Cancun, Mexico’s Hotel Zone, Le Blanc Spa Resort exudes a modern feel with its sleek architecture and neutral-toned color palette. Each of Le Blanc’s suites features a coffee maker, a stocked minibar, an LED TV, BVLGARI toiletries, butler service and a liquor cabinet. When booking your room, be sure to request a higher floor and an ocean-facing suite – according to recent visitors, the splurge affords spectacular views and extra quiet that are well worth the nightly rate. If you can tear yourself away from your digs, check out the links on the nearby Moon Palace Cancun’s Jack Nicklaus Signature course. Or perhaps you’re better suited to a day at Blanc Spa, where you can indulge in a massage or a hydrotherapy session. You can also catch some rays by one of three pools or claim a spot on the beach. When hunger sets in, take your pick of Le Blanc’s five restaurants or relax in your accommodations and order room service (available 24 hours a day).
2. Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
While the Paseo de la Reforma may be buzzing with traffic and tourists, the Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City offers some peace and quiet. Clean, spacious rooms are spread out across a colonial-style building, with a romantically lush fountain courtyard at its center. Accommodations are equipped with smart TVs, Nespresso Inissia coffee makers, complimentary standard Wi-Fi access, and full marble bathrooms featuring deep soaking tubs, not to mention views of the bustling avenue below. Chapultepec Forest sits a little more than a mile west of this Four Seasons, but lodgers interested in R&R are content to stay near the hotel, especially with its pampering amenities. Guests say the rooftop pool is kept at a comfortably warm temperature, while the spa is equally enticing with refreshing facials and customized massages available. And visitors also praise the cuisine at the on-site restaurant, Zanaya, and the professional staff.
