Hotel Volga Mexico City Review: An Experience In The Heart Of CDMX
Mexico City is truly one-of-a-kind. In this cultural mecca, you’ll find diverse architecture, a mouth-watering food scene, a uniquely rich history, and some of the friendliest of people. And no matter how many times that I visit, I always leave feeling as if I have barely scratched the surface.
So when our travel agency was invited to the launch of Volga, a brand new luxury, experiential hotel concept by Hamak, I knew the answer was unequivocally yes.
After having spent a few days there, I can say confidently that Hotel Volga Mexico City goes above and beyond your typical boutique stay. It’s a destination - a place to see (and be seen).
Here’s an inside look at what it’s like staying at Hotel Volga Mexico City.
GETTING TO HOTEL VOLGA MEXICO CITY
Hotel Volga Mexico City is located in the heart of Mexico City’s Cuauhtemoc neighborhood, just steps away from Reforma Ave and the famed “Angel of Independence” statue. The hotel is also centrally located, which means you’ll have easy access to the trendy expat hotspots of Roma and La Condesa.
The most convenient way to get from the Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) to Hotel Volga Mexico City is by private transfer. The hotel staff was more than happy to help coordinate a seamless roundtrip airport transfer (even my 2am departure went off without a hitch). If you would prefer to drive, the hotel offers a valet parking option as well.
A ride from the Benito Juarez International Airport to Hotel Volga Mexico City will typically take around 30 minutes.
THE PROPERTY AT HOTEL VOLGA MEXICO CITY
As I mentioned above, Hotel Volga Mexico City is a destination. The hotel itself is an architectural marvel brought to life by architects Javier Sanchez and Aisha Ballesteros (JSa Architecture). The interiors are minimal and raw, while still delivering a sense of understated luxury.
The two most noteworthy features of the property are the rooftop sundeck and the dramatic atrium.
The rooftop sundeck is the perfect place for lounging poolside with a well-crafted cocktail or a few small bites. The 360 panoramic views of Mexico City aren’t half bad either. From the rooftop sundeck, you can also look down into the heart of the hotel: the dramatic atrium.
Every room in the hotel looks out onto the atrium, offering a sneak peak into all of the happenings throughout the hotel at any given moment. At its core, Hotel Volga Mexico City is a fully immersive experience.
ROOMS AND SUITES AT HOTEL VOLGA MEXICO CITY
While this 49-room luxury boutique hotel may be livelier than most, the rooms make for the perfect place to unwind at the end of a long day (or even after a long night out). I opted for the Deluxe Room, which was intimate and perfect for a weekend getaway.
I also had the opportunity to view each of the room categories available. If you’re hoping for some real rest and relaxation, make sure that you opt for one of their suites.
The suites at Hotel Volga Mexico City offer a soaking tub and extra large balcony that will definitely help take your stay to the next level.
THE HOTEL VOLGA MEXICO CITY EXPERIENCE
From the moment that I arrived at Hotel Volga Mexico City, it was clear that the focus was on the experience. But, what exactly does that mean?
Well, as a guest, it means that you’ll have the opportunity to delve into art, architecture, gastronomy, and mixology in new and unexpected ways.
During my visit, for example, I spent the evenings wandering through the different corners of the hotel, not knowing what unique experience I might stumble upon next. Some nights I came across interactive tastings and boutique pop-up shops, while other nights there were DJs, art displays, and acoustic musicians.
The evenings were not-to-be-missed and brought in both a local and international crowd.
SERVICE AT HOTEL VOLGA MEXICO CITY
While perhaps less touted, another key aspect of the Hotel Volga Mexico City experience is service.
The staff that I interacted with during my stay was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to help with any request.
My cup, whether at the bar or at the restaurant, never sat empty. The concierge team was reachable in a moment's notice via WhatsApp. I even had a staff member offer to walk me to a nearby restaurant to ensure that I didn’t get lost along the way.
To some, these small gestures may not seem like much. But, as someone who works in the travel industry, I assure you that great service can make a world of a difference.
