Speaking of the W - staying there will change a lot of people's perception of Mexico City. The hotel itself is a mecca of design, the crowd at the bar as sophisticated as any you'd see in NY, and across the street is a Bentley dealership.
Hi Maurice, they put us up at the JW Marriott, right next to the W. That way we could just walk across the street to go to work at the Auditorio. The Marriott is fabulous as well, our group took up a third of their rooms for the month. I'm sure our corp. took bids from the W and the Presidente, too, but went with the Marriott. Tons of great restaurants in the neighborhood, and the beautiful parks are what really floored me!

I'm glad I had many weeks there to go see things in small doses. If you tried to see all the sights in one week, you'd really wear yourself out.(maybe I'm just saying that because I still had to go to work every night and my work is physically demanding, so I had to be careful to pace myself).
