Checking in and out of the Andaz Condesa
Check-in is 3pm and check-out is 12pm – a bit later than most hotels. If you arrive early the hotel will store your bags at a minimum and will also accommodate you if your room is not available. Additionally, if you are an American Express Platinum program member and book your stay through the program, you can request a late check out (available till 4pm).
Rooms and Suites
The Andaz Condesa rooms and suites provide very comfortable accommodations. Our King Bed High Room was spacious and offered stunning city views. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including robes for each guest, though slippers were not provided. The room’s décor was unique and modern, and we appreciated the complimentary water, coffee, tea, nonalcoholic beverages (including locally produced Coca-Cola), and snacks. The Byredo cosmetics products were a great addition. ❤️
Our stay was extremely comfortable and very relaxing! 💯
It’s worth mentioning that during our stay, there was occasionally an unpleasant odor in the hallways, which may have been a temporary issue.
Dining options at the Andaz Condesa
The dining options at the Andaz Condesa were plentiful, and we felt the quality of the food was excellent. Additionally, the service was prompt and attentive. All restaurants offered great spaces for food and socializing.
- Pórtico restaurant – the perfect place for breakfast – we loved the breakfast buffet! Plentiful selections, excellent fresh juices and super attentive service. In the afternoon and into the evening, you can enjoy cocktails and food on the nice outdoor patio.
- Cabuya Rooftop restaurant and bar – located on the 17th floor of the hotel, this spot offers seafood and drinks with stunning city views. Although it was closed for maintenance during our visit, the photos we saw suggest it’s a great place to enjoy the scenery.
- Derba Matcha Café – if you’re a matcha fan, this is a must-visit café. ❤️ They offer a fantastic selection of high-quality matcha drinks, along with a variety of other beverages, including alcoholic options. You can also enjoy bowls, sandwiches, and more. It’s a perfect spot to socialize with friends in a cozy setting or to get some work done if needed.
- Wooftop Beer Garden & Canine Club – if you’re traveling with your dog, you’ll definitely want to check out this place. You can enjoy food and drinks with a view from the rooftop bar while your dog plays with new friends. Unsure what to think of this concept, but it is an option for travelers and their dogs.
Other amenities
The onside Pasana Spa and Wellness Center was a great place to enjoy services before or after a day of exploring the city.
The spa offers a full-service menu including massages, facials, hair and nail services. Of note are the treatments, which emphasize the use of local knowledge and ingredients. You can book your appointments here. The spa also offers daily specials, which will be listed in the spa brochure in your room.
If you prefer not to change your regular exercise routine, a complimentary 7/24 gym is available to hotel guests. A number of yoga classes are also offered to hotel guests.
The hotel has a rooftop pool, where you can relax and enjoy a drink. It is more a relaxation pool than one in which you can swim, but it is a nice place to take in the city views.
