The Hotel Majestic is one of my favorite hotels in Mexico City. It's not the cheapest, nor is it the newest. But I always feel right at home here. The tiled lobby with the gurgling fountain, the lovely rooftop restaurant overlooking the Zocalo, the old elevators, convenience to the Metro, and the terrific central location in the heart of the Centro Historico make for a combination that can't be beat in my book.
The rooms are furnished with heavy Spanish colonial-style furniture. The bathrooms have the original fixtures: which means HUGE bath tubs and huge sinks.
The rooms facing the Zocalo have the best views, but if you take one of those, wear earplugs or be ready to wake up with the bugle's fanfares announcing the raising of the huge flag in the Zocalo. Less scenic, but certainly quieter, are the rooms facing the central atrium.
Be sure to enjoy a meal at the rooftop restaurant while you're here. The restaurant is one of the nicest features of the hotel.
The Majestic participates in the Best Western's reservation system, so you can easily make a reservation from home.
