This hotel has a good restaurant and bar and is centrally located. The hotel is spotless and the service excellent. We used to stay at Hotel Catedral, but it was often booked up. This is a better alternative, same price, better deal and better situated.

It is a couple of blocks from Parque Alameda, Bellas Artes, Paseo Reforma and all that area contains in Centro Historico. $40 to $60 for a suite! Recommended. Free internet.

Guerrero No. 12, and Puente Alvarado, opposite a small park. Tel. 55668333

"El Ministerio de Educacion Publica" houses an incredible collection of Diego Rivera murals.

These are his early murals (the 20s) and are on three floors surrounding an open courtyard with jacaranda trees.
