Hotel Corinto
A no-frills outdoor pool near the Monument to the Revolution
About this hotel
Hotel Corinto keeps things simple: an unfussy business hotel a few blocks from the Monument to the Revolution and the Alameda Central, with a rooftop-level outdoor pool and an informal bar and restaurant attached rather than a long amenity list. It sits in the older, denser part of the city, closer to everyday Mexico City life than the manicured Reforma corridor a short ride away, which fits a hotel built for travelers who want a functional pool without paying for a five-star lobby. The pool itself is smaller than the outdoor decks at larger Reforma properties nearby, but it delivers the same core appeal: an open-air swim in the middle of a short business trip or budget-conscious stay.

Our take
This suits travelers on a tight budget who still want an outdoor pool as part of the stay, in a neighborhood closer to local Mexico City life than the polished Reforma stretch. It's a practical, no-frills choice. It's not the pick for anyone wanting a large pool deck, a rooftop view with a bar attached, or a five-star property; the pool here is compact and the hotel simple by design.
- ✓Swim around midday, when Mexico City's altitude keeps the sun strong enough to warm the outdoor pool before the evening cools it off.
- ✓Walk to the Monument to the Revolution and the Alameda Central rather than booking transport; both sit within a few blocks.
- ✓Keep expectations modest on pool size and hotel scale; the value here is the price relative to a Reforma-corridor stay.
Why we love it

Why guests love itTravelers on a tighter budget find the outdoor pool at Hotel Corinto a genuinely useful extra rather than an expected luxury, best used around midday when the sun is strongest before the evening cools things down. The informal bar and restaurant keep things simple without pretending to be more than they are, and the walk to the Monument to the Revolution puts a real Mexico City landmark within easy reach. The pool itself stays modest in size, better suited to a quick cool-off than a full afternoon of laps.
