Sheraton Maria Isabel Mexico City Reforma
An outdoor deck by the Angel of Independence
About this hotel
The Sheraton Maria Isabel sits on one of the most walkable stretches of Paseo de la Reforma, close enough to the Angel of Independence that the monument anchors the whole neighborhood around it. The outdoor pool sits open to the sky rather than tucked under a terrace roof, catching the day's full sun before cooling off once the avenue's towers start throwing shade in the late afternoon. Between the pool sessions, the property runs three restaurants and two bars, a spa and a fitness center, built more for a business traveler filling a day around meetings than a resort guest with nowhere to be. Zona Rosa's restaurant strip and the Metrobus line both sit within an easy walk, making the hotel a workable base for exploring Reforma without needing a car.

Our take
This suits business travelers and couples who want a five-star Reforma address with an outdoor pool they'll actually use around midday, when Mexico City's altitude keeps the sun strong enough for a proper swim. It's less suited to anyone chasing a resort-style pool day, since the deck empties out fast once the afternoon cools and the property's scale leans corporate rather than leisure. Travelers prioritizing a rooftop view or a heated pool for evening swims should look at the other Reforma-area properties instead.
- ✓Swim between noon and three, when the outdoor pool catches the strongest sun before the avenue's towers start shading the deck.
- ✓Walk to the Angel of Independence and Zona Rosa's restaurants rather than booking a taxi for short trips along Reforma.
- ✓Use the Metrobus along Reforma instead of driving if you're heading toward the Centro Historico during the workday.
Why we love it
- The outdoor pool a short walk from the Angel of Independence

- A spa and fitness center for a full business-trip day
- Direct access to Zona Rosa's restaurant strip
Why guests love itTravelers staying here for a work trip find the outdoor pool works best as a midday reset between meetings rather than an evening activity, since Mexico City's altitude cools the deck fast once the sun drops behind Reforma's towers. The location does a lot of the heavy lifting: the Angel of Independence is close enough to walk to after checking in, and Zona Rosa's restaurants make dinner an easy stroll rather than a taxi ride. The rooms stay comfortable and quiet despite the busy avenue outside.
