Where to Stay

Frequented by hip Chilangos, the Hotel Condesa DF is a comfortable cocoon of dark wood and turquoise motifs surrounding a bright courtyard.

Av. Veracruz 102, 52-55-5241-2600, condesadf.com

The ethereal postmodern Habita Hotel is nestled in fashionable Polanco. Find a perch at the rooftop bar and watch the crowd.

Av. Presidente Masaryk 201, 52-55-5282-3100, hotelhabita.com

Where to Eat

Forget the tables of local celebs at El Contramar. You won’t be able to keep your eyes off the platters of seafood tacos and delicious (and affordable) fish.

Av. Durango 200, 52-55-5514-9217

On Los Danzantes’ patio, dine on regional specialties like huitlacoche (a truffle-like mushroom that grows on corn). Wash down the meal with homemade mezcal.

Plaza Jardín Centenario 12, 52-55-5658-6054, losdanzantes.com.mx

With her bold use of chilies and inventive combinations of, say, foie gras and cocoa, Martha Ortiz Chapa raises modern Mexican cuisine to new heights at Águila y Sol.

Av. Molière 42, 52-55-5281-8354
