Hotels at the Mexico City Airport

We’ll need to spend the night in Mexico City on our way to Zihuatanejo because a last minute flight cancellation. Anyone have a particular recommendation for an airport hotel? We need clean and comfortable with airport ground transportation. A bar and restaurant would be nice. Thanks.

We've stayed (although not in the last 3 years) at the Hilton, Courtyard, and Camino Real on Terminal 1 and the NH on Terminal 2.

My favorite is the Courtyard.

Camino Real is what we always use and just did in December. Has a Starbucks, bar area, 2 eateries and has the walk way right from the airport to the hotel, so no need to leave the area.

Anyone else dislike the thought of being in Mexico City
For more than a couple hours?

We stay at one of the hotels attached to the airport. Very convenient the next day with no traffic hassles or late shuttles.

Thanks, everybody. We booked Courtyard. The important thing is that we will get there. We will be in Zihuatanejo. Thirty something years and I am coming. But I do miss Mexicana.

I love Mexico City. Most amazing city on earth, and I don't really like cities. Fascinating history and incredible culture! It's especially nice when it's clear and you can see all the volcanoes around you. But the lack of humidity does a number on my eyes and sinus after about 3 days. Not crazy about the cold weather they're having at night right now, either.

I love Mexico City having spent five and then three days there over the years. I stayed mainly near the Zocalo. The foods, the sights, the stores! I was going to go this week for the Mexico City Art fair but I couldn’t play that out. There is a big amateur boxeo Event early April so that sounds like a good way to celebrate ny birthday (only because Barcelona, London and Paris aren’t doable due to Covid).

I most definitely dislike the thought of being there for a few hours, simply because it wouldn't be enough!!
I need more like a few weeks or months.

I'm from the U.S., wife is from Mexico.....and we met in Ixtapa in the 90's while we both were vacationing.
Come to find out she was from San Angel, beautiful town in Mexico City.

Although I love my beach vacations, I have absolutely no problem spending a month visiting and bouncing around all the different areas and smaller towns around the DF. So much to see and do.

The choices were to spend up to 20 hours or more taking two buses from Huatulco to Acapulco, Acapulco to Zihuatanejo or fly to Mexico City, spend the night, and then fly to Huatulco. The second choice seemed much more appealing. I stayed downtown in a very comfortable hotel. As luck would have it, the date was September 14, 2019. Mind you, this was the day before the El Grito Dia de la Independencia celebration. El Centro was already alive with tens of thousands of revelers. The celebrations were just getting started. Loved every minute!

Spent NYeve and a few extra days in San Angel on route to Z a few years ago then a few more on route back to Canada 6 weeks later. Very special part of the city but too far for one night stay.
LOVE Mexico city and I like cities.(true confessions Lol)

Very nice!!

Were you by chance able to spend a Saturday afternoon there when they have art/music/food going on?
Sábado Bazar I believe is how it's referred to.

If both your flights are in the same terminal, stay at a hotel in the terminal.
If your first flight come into terminal1 and your 2nd flight is in terminal2….I would stay in terminal 2 and the NHHotel.
If your first flight come into terminal 2 and your 2nd flight is in terminal 1…I would stay at the Camino Real at terminal1.
Enjoy your vacation.

Yes we did on the way back I have a small piece of enamel art hanging in my kitchen from it. From there an easy walk to Frida's house mostly through the parkland. It is definitely not how most people and that being me too pictured the city really interesting place.

I just looked and Art Residence San Angel where we stayed states permanently closed. Too bad great place to stay.

If using T2 the NH is a great option. Stayed there a couple of times the past few years.
