Welcome back to the channel today I wanted to show you what you could expect from Las Alcobas,
A Luxury Collection Hotel in Mexico City. This hotel is part of the Marriott Bonvoy brand. I
originally booked a Deluxe Room and I was upgraded to the Grand Deluxe Executive Larger Guest Room.
I actually was denied a Suite Night Upgrade, but was given the upgrade anyway so that's that's
not a bad deal. I have heard at this property they really only upgrade you one category of room.
The odds of you getting a double upgrade are slim to none at this property from what I have
heard. It is a really nice room. This hotel is located in the Polanco neighborhood. Their are
a lot of nice restaurants within walking distance as well as shopping. You can
see here the closet. You have hangers, a robe, slippers, and some other miscellaneous things.
I did like how the closets kind of appeared hidden in the doors; well hidden in the wood. I did like
the overall design of the room. Their is only one vanity. You have soaps here; the Mexican soaps,
which smell pretty good. This is probably the best shower I think I have ever experienced;
I will show you a slow motion video shortly. You have Bulgari toiletry products
in here but yeah that shower was amazing. You have the separate room here for the toilet.
The toilet has a little bidet function as well, a Toto type toilet. You do have a
separate bathtub as well which has jets also. So you have plenty of tools to relax in this room.
As you can see here you've got a sofa, and here's the bed.
Then you have kind of a tablet device here which you can control everything from this
tablet. So the climate, lighting, drapes, do not disturb, whether you need the room cleaned or not,
the alarm clock. and music. It also has some local attractions information that you could
access there. Also the address and phone number to the hotel should you need that.
Their is a chair there,
and the view is pretty decent when you're looking out over over Polanco. You have a TV
and you've got this wooden etched thing that I didn't know, but it is a cabinet.
Here's where all the snacks are. So this is kind of similar to the
Andaz brand with Hyatt where everything is complementary in here except for the soaps and
the alcoholic beverages. It is a pretty generous offering and they have some nice snacks up there.
They do have the prices for the alcoholic beverages if you want to drink any of those
and the soap as well. Actually the soap was one of the choices for the welcome amenities.
You could choose from 1000 points, an upgraded breakfast; so you'd get the continental and an
item off of the menu. I did choose that one, and I am glad I did. Or you could have some handmade
soaps. I thought the soaps were a creative option there to get you some local products.
You can also control the curtains there. You do also have this control on the wall for the
curtains you can see me struggling to get it to work. Their is a climate control as well on the
wall so you can control it there or you can control it at the tablet on the nightstand.
There's your view looking out on Polanco. I don't know why I didn't open the curtain
this time but I think I was still trying to figure out the buttons and everything.
Now here's that shower in slow-motion. This shower was amazing and I didn't want to get out of it.
You have the 2 jets on each side going sideways, and the rainfall shower on top.
I'm sorry 3 jets on each side running sideways at you. Extremely hard to get out especially if
it's cold, which it was during this stay in the mornings. The shower was the star of the room.
As far as food goes breakfast is served in the restaurant downstairs. You can take a
look at that, so it's not a buffet You do get the continental breakfast and I did have the
option to choose from an entrée from the menu, which I will show you the menu here in a bit.
You are started out with some fresh fruit and yogurt, and some fresh bread. For the entrée
I had the Manchamanteles, which were really good. They are essentially chicken
enchiladas with sweet mole sauce, with bananas,
cheese, onions, and cilantro on top. A really good to start the day. I did also order a
turkey club sandwich with chips and fries. A an absolutely huge sandwich. The fries were
delicious with the parmesan and garlic mix. I will let you take a look through the menu just
so you can see how expansive it is. I will be back to talk a bit more about the hotel.
I really enjoyed my experience in Las Alcobas. The service, food, and that shower was
excellent with a nice surprise being the mini bar with everything being free except for the
soaps and alcoholic beverages. You are in a really good area being within walking distance of a lot
of good restaurants and shopping. I don't really think you can go wrong at this property. It's
a good use of a free night to me. The hotel can be pricey seasonally and can get more expensive.
In the low season it can be; I guess reasonable. That was my experience at
