“Hotel Principal strikes me as a smart choice in a city brimming with options, its Spanish colonial architecture a welcome contrast to the modern bustle outside. I appreciate that it's steps from the Palacio de Bellas Artes; budget-conscious travelers who want to soak in the city's cultural heart will find it suits them well. With modern touches complementing its historic design, Hotel Principal impresses as a solid, well-located base for exploring Mexico City.”
