Sheraton Centro Historico Hotel & Convention Center welcomes groups of up to 5,000 to the historic heart of Mexico City. The capital’s historical zone combines centuries of history, culture, customs, and traditions in more than 1,500 landmark buildings and monuments. At the same time it houses a great number of headquarters for government, finance, and commerce.

Within steps of Alameda Park and Paseo de la Reforma, the hotel's sharply angled 27-story tower resonates with style-conscious meeting travelers.

The front entrance-designed not only to inspire but for efficient arrivals- includes a special lane for loading and unloading up to five buses at a time. Underground parking accommodates over 850 vehicles. Upstairs, the lobby - an architectural tour de force of its own - greets newcomers at ground level with a minimalist symmetrical layout, bright contemporary furnishings, a high-concept wine bar and lobby lounge, and breathtaking modern art.

The largest in-hotel convention center in Mexico City occupies two of the building's two-story levels. Encompassing more than 45,000 square feet of conference space, the facility features an 18,023-squarefoot column-free ballroom and a 17,507-square-foot exhibition hall-plus generous check-in, support, and circulation areas; a state-of-the-art business center; and a dozen additional meeting rooms. Wired in 2003 and continually updated, the center provides the latest word in flexibility and audiovisual, videoconferencing, and teleconferencing support.

Meanwhile, the tower's upper floors sequester the 457 guest rooms and suites, all with contemporary decor and many with panoramic views of the capital and its landmarks. Business-friendly amenities range from generous work desks and dual phone lines to wired and wireless Internet access. Comforts of home start with flat-screen TVs, video games, coffeemakers, and minibars and go on to include Jacuzzis and kitchenettes in the suites. Room service delivers 24 hours a day.

Guests at leisure swim in two indoor pools, work out in the fitness center, unwind in the Jacuzzi and steam room, or book relaxing massage treatments. Socializing often begins in the lobby’s lounge or wine bar, then continues over international buffet selections at Los Dones or gourmet Mexican cuisine at El Cardenal, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner between murals that replicate the work of Diego Rivera.

Nearby attractions abound - including the Zona Rosa, National Palace, Revolution Monument, Museum of Anthropology, zoo, amusement parks, lakes, and the Palace of Fine Arts. At this thoroughly modern AAA four-diamond hotel, groups encounter the very best Mexico has to offer, past and present.
