Top choice in Centro Histórico
The Gran Hotel flaunts the French art nouveau style of the pre-revolution era. Crowned by a stained-glass canopy crafted by Tiffany in 1908, the atrium is a fin de siècle fantasy of curved balconies, wrought-iron elevators and chirping birds in giant cages. Rooms do not disappoint in comparison. Breakfast and brunch (M$210) are served on a terrace overlooking the Zócalo.
Breakfast deals and tour packages are available on the website. The hotel features in the James Bond film Spectre.
