Gay Mexico City Mexico City City Guide City Guides > Mexico > Gay Mexico City Mexico City Casey SiemaskoThe intoxicating, sprawling buzz of gay Mexico City has enthralled hedonists, foodies and culture buffs alike for centuries. Step foot in any of the city’s eclectic neighbourhoods to be met with a torrent of rich, cultural encounters and a complex history spanning Spanish colonial times and dating back to the ancient Aztec empire. Revel in Mexico City’s awe-inspiring contradictions; where high culture meets hazy, horn-honking squalor, and where, beneath the dominating shadow of the Catholic Church, you’ll be greeted with an open-minded Gay mecca of a million colours and many displays of gay life – showcased annually during Latin America’s largest Pride festival. Though long marred with crime and bad traffic, Mexico is continuously reinventing itself, boasting a fusion of boutique hotels, upscale nightlife offerings and a unique urban landscape that blends colonial heritage with modern innovation. For a look at what to do in Mexico City, read on for Mr Hudson’s ultimate Mexico City gay guide. Feel like getting away? Take a trip planned just for you, and let us do all the work.

A stone’s throw away, The St. Regis Mexico City elevates luxury to new heights with its personalised butler service and the King Cole Bar, where you can savour a Sangrita Maria, the local twist on the brand’s signature Bloody Mary. For those seeking the pinnacle of opulence, The Ritz-Carlton Mexico City offers a sanctuary of refined indulgence, featuring a spa with treatments inspired by Aztec healing traditions and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the sprawling cityscape and Chapultepec Park.

Its custom-made furnishings and rosewood-panelled walls create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while the Aurora Spa provides a haven of relaxation with treatments using indigenous ingredients. Each of these exceptional properties not only promises a sumptuous stay but also serves as a gateway to exploring the vibrant culture, tantalising cuisine, and pulsating nightlife that make Mexico City a must-visit destination for the sophisticated gay traveller.
