  4. W Mexico City

    Mexico, Caribbean

    The W Mexico City has taken the influences of legendary Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo and dragged them, kicking and screaming, into the twenty-first Century. Rivera’s fondness for monumental murals have been given a comic book twist and the colours of the Mexican arts and crafts tradition as promoted by Frida Khalo have been used with abandon, to the point where the entire hotel is literally awash in saturated colour.

    Slick contemporary spaces meet pulsating Mexican colours.

    • The Red Lounge is exactly what it says on the box: a magnificently red space with red floors, red walls, red ceilings and red furniture.
    • Solea brings all the colours of the Mexican village: vibrant pink, azul (blue), fiesta red and mixes it with a series of modern linear spaces, to create a steak house that looks nothing like a steak house.
