My hotels of Mexico City !!!

Posted in Americas, Bretagne, Florida, Food and Wine, France

I was looking over my older posts since started my blog I notice older posts that needed update and new fresh text/links using older pictures when possible. This is a pity , as is a country where i have visited several times over the years from 1994 to 2018 practically at least once every year. This post will be a compendium of my nostalgic hotels not much written elsewhere in my blog : of course, in those early times in Florida, very little effort for pictures until 2012 onwards from France, Therefore, here is my take on my hotels of Mexico City !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

In those early days I would come from Miami international airport (MIA) to Benito Juarez international airport in Mexico city , This flight was short and nice on business class for many years say from 1994 to 2003 , then continue from Roissy CDG airport until last in 2018) Early on would come every month for several years of glory and many friends still in touch as even spoked today !

I have stayed in several hotels , however, my funny anecdote happened when came with the owner of my company who is/was from Taiwan, I told him to stay at my favorite Royal Amberes but he did not like the cold rooms so ask me to move to other hotel, I saw one across ave Chapultepec that is diagonally from Amberes Zona Rosa and came for it, Lucky rooms were available and took up on the Segovia Regency Hotel ,avenida Chapultepec 328 . It was a pleasant experience but again the anecdote is this hotel had doors closed for security between midnight and 6h or 6am. So we needed clearance each time to get back in lol!

For most of my stays there and already can call it my hangout of many years in Zona Rosa, the Best Western Royal Hotel, Amberes 78; a great place to stay with wonderful foodie,and a plethora of choices outside all around you from stores, bars, restos, clubs etc. Very central between paseo de la Reforma and ave Chapultepec. The hotel new webpage as Hotel Royal Reforma new name:  https://hotelroyalreforma.com/

Another reason for this post is that speaking with an old friend from there came up with remembering the address of the sales office which he knew, and I decided to give due and do this post, The office back then was at Avenida Progreso corner with Calle Union, Colonia Escandon for a computer parts distribution company (now a Six store there), Many good friends like I said still in touch with several and have met them again on my trips from France, The company has been long gone it close out shortly after I left them for lack of business, It was called Key Micro , The address is within walking distance of the Bosque de Chapultepec forest and its many attractions and very close to the nice Parque Morelos,

The Fuente de Diana Cazadora (eng. Huntress Diana Fountain), a monument located in the roundabout at Paseo de la Reforma and Calle Río Misisipí and Calle Sevilla, on the border of the neighborhoods of Colonia Cuauhtémoc and Colonia Juàrez, and was begun in 1938. Also, the Angel de la Independencia or the Independance Angel is a column located on a roundabout in the end of the Paseo de la Reforma. The column has 36 meters high, and the statue, which weighs 7 tons,  and about 7 meters, for a total of 43 meters. Made with gold leaves.  El Ángel was built in 1910 to celebrate the centenary of the independence of Mexico (September 16 1810 Grito de Dolores) The statue of the Winged Victory located at its summit is inspired and is a quasi-conforming copy of the statue of the Genius of Liberty located on the column of July, Place de la Bastille in Paris, France. I,have posts on them in my blog

As my hotels were around it I became very knowledgable of this area, the Zona Rosa or rose zone neighborhood, It is bordered by Avenue Chapultepec in the south, and to the north the famous Paseo de la Reforma. The Zona Rosa is also known for its nightlife, which makes this space one of the most visited in Mexico City, Many nice memories indeed here and if back will surely visit it again,

There you go folks, once again my nostalgia on Mexico City caught up with me, This is one of the great cities of our world. These places are full of wonderful memories and great friendship over the years still going on since 1994 ! Mexico City will always be remembered. Again, hope you enjoy this post on my hotels of Mexico City !!! as I,

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
