Camino Real
Three pools across sprawling gardens near Chapultepec
About this hotel
Camino Real stands apart from most Mexico City pool hotels by running three separate pools rather than one, spread across sprawling gardens near Campos Eliseos and the Museo Tamayo, closer to Chapultepec than the Reforma or Alameda-area properties elsewhere on this site. The layout gives guests real choice through the day: a quieter pool in the morning, a livelier one closer to the ten restaurants and bars once the property fills up in the afternoon. A full gym rounds out grounds large enough to feel closer to a resort within the city than a business-hotel amenity list, and the neighborhood itself sits in a quieter, more residential pocket of Mexico City than the busier avenues further east.
- Three pools
- Sprawling gardens
- Ten restaurants and bars
- Near Chapultepec
Our take
This suits families and groups who want pool variety and enough space to spread out, in a quieter neighborhood near Chapultepec and the Museo Tamayo. It's the closest thing to a resort stay within the city on this list. Solo business travelers or short-stay visitors may find the scale more than they need compared with a single-pool Reforma hotel closer to meetings and transit.
- ✓Pick a pool by time of day rather than sticking to one; a quieter garden pool works well in the morning, a livelier one near the restaurants later.
- ✓Walk to the Museo Tamayo from the hotel rather than arranging transport; the location makes it a genuine option.
- ✓Use the on-site restaurants and bars around the pools instead of heading into central Reforma for dinner.

Why guests love itFamilies and groups staying here find real value in having three pools to choose from, letting different people in the same party pick a quieter spot in the gardens or a livelier one near the restaurants without anyone feeling shortchanged. The grounds themselves are a highlight beyond the pools, giving the property a resort feel that's rare among Mexico City's mostly single-pool hotels. The Museo Tamayo sits close enough to reach on foot, and the quieter Campos Eliseos location makes a calmer base than busier avenues elsewhere.
