Ciudad De Mexico, Mexico

We have curated a list below of our favorite places to eat and drink, and some of our favorite cultural experiences. We have also added places Keki grew up going to. Look through and enjoy your time in Mexico! Some things are more touristy, others are off the beaten path.

Where to Stay

We have rooms blocked off for wedding guests at the below hotel but feel free to stay anywhere in Mexico City at other hotels or Airbnbs. The wedding venue is central so any neighborhood should be easy. Fun areas to stay are Roma, Condessa, Juarez, Cuauthemoc, or Napoles. We recommend you book as soon as possible given F1 and Day of the Dead.

You can book either by calling directly or emailing. If you email include that you are booking for “FRANCESCA AND HATEM WEDDING” to confirm the preferential rate. Please provide your name, email, type of room, arrival date, departure date and special requests.
