"Mucho" to love in Mexico City

Some may consider Mexico to be less urbanised than its northern counterpart, but this isn't the case when it comes to Mexico City. The largest city on the continent is a vibrant metropolitan hub with historic plazas, modern museums, archaeological highlights and beguiling neighbourhoods aplenty.

Mexico City boasts a huge range of 5-star hotels, including offerings from Four Seasons, Holiday Inn, Radisson and Hilton. The first step is deciding which of the 16 districts you want to stay in: Centro Historico is the bustling colonial heart of the city, affluent Polanco has a mix of grand and boutique establishments, while lively Zona Rosa has something for everyone.

Coastal sun-soaking and beach-combing

Mexico is one of the most visited countries in the world due to one main factor: an abundance of stunning, beach-trimmed coastline. Around four hours south of Mexico City, Acapulco is one of the foremost resort towns in the world.

Take your pick of Mexico accommodation that caters to the rich and famous on holiday in Acapulco, such as the Fairmont Acapulco Princess and the Hyatt Regency Acapulco. Perhaps it's Playa del Carmen playing at your holiday heartstrings. In Playa, ocean-front lodgings along Cinco Avenida are top of the range, while loads of mid-range hotels are set back a little further from the shore.

Uncover Mexico's ancient Maya soul

Come for the beaches and stay for the mysterious Maya sites. On the Yucutan Peninsula sweeping the Caribbean Coast in the country's southeast, the ancient Maya world was built on mythical wisdom and a highly sophisticated foundation. Today, all that remains are the intriguing temples and ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Tulum, Coba and so on.

Indulge your curiosity and comfort by basing yourself in festive Cancun, conveniently located about two and a half hours from Chichen Itza. Cancun is forever tourist-ready, with a distinct hotel zone hosting the Hyatt Regency, Grand Park Royal, Grand Oasis, Ritz Carlton, Radisson and countless more.
