The concierge is on hand to offer advice on sightseeing opportunities in the area.

Guestrooms. The 120 wheelchair- accessible guestrooms over seven floors feature light decor and contemporary furnishings. All are equipped with satellite television, wireless Internet access, direct-dial phones with voicemail, clock radios, ceiling fans and complimentary bottled water. Bathrooms include shower/tub combinations and complimentary toiletries.

Expert Tip. Visit the Palacio de Bellas Artes opera house, 700 metres away, for its magnificent Art Nouveau exterior and Art Deco interiors. But don't leave it too long; the massive weight of the Carrera marble used in its construction is making it sink a few centimetres each year.
