  • Behind the honey: Our Beekeeping experience

    We manage beehives located just outside the hotel grounds, from which we harvest honeycombs proudly served in our breakfast buffets. Guests are invited to join the concierge team for a unique, hands-on experience learning about beekeeping and the vital role bees play in supporting biodiversity. This authentic encounter connects guests with nature and highlights our commitment to sustainable practices beyond the hotel premises.

  • Food Waste Reduction

    Through our partnership with the “Aliemento para Todos” foundation, surplus food from our kitchens is carefully collected and donated to local food banks three times a week, helping to provide nutritious meals to those in need. Additionally, we utilize intelligent waste management systems that monitor and calculate food waste in all dining areas, enabling us to optimize portions and reduce leftovers. These efforts reflect our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, ensuring that no good food goes to waste while supporting our community.

  • Luxury Without Plastic

    As part of our ongoing effort to protect the environment, we have implemented a comprehensive policy to reduce and eliminate single-use plastics throughout the entire hotel.

This commitment is a core part of our vision for sustainability and responsibility toward the planet.

Celebrating cultures, embracing diversity

Art, Architecture and Identity

A harmonious blend of French elegance and Mexican heritage defines the architecture and interior design of Sofitel Mexico City Reforma. More than a luxury hotel, it is a living tribute to the rich artistic and cultural dialogue between two nations.

Standing proudly on the iconic Paseo de la Reforma, the hotel preserves the historic façade designed by renowned Mexican architect Rafael Goyeneche in 1938, merging it seamlessly with the modernity of a 40-story glass tower. This architectural fusion reflects the timeless coexistence of heritage and innovation.

Inside, the design narrative continues through curated art pieces and symbolic elements that honor both cultures. The 38th-floor swimming pool is inspired by the vibrant, expressive work of David Alfaro Siqueiros, one of Mexico’s most influential muralists, whose legacy is reimagined through color, movement, and texture within the space. Sculptural lighting, volcanic stone, and warm wood finishes evoke Mexico’s natural materials, while refined furniture, contemporary chandeliers, and brass accents infuse a touch of Parisian sophistication.

 

Sustainable Flavors

Our culinary philosophy celebrates sustainability, seasonality, and cultural fusion. Across our restaurants and bars, we prioritize locally sourced ingredients from Mexican producers, supporting regional communities and ensuring the freshest flavors.

Guests will find vegetarian and vegan options thoughtfully crafted by our chefs, as well as menus that highlight the best of Mexican and French cuisine. One example is Bajel, our contemporary fine dining restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide Mexico 2024 and 2025, which offers a vegetarian tasting menu that explores the richness of Mexican ingredients through a creative and refined lens. Each morning at Balta, our breakfast buffet showcases seasonal fruits, house-made pastries, fresh juices, and local specialties, including organic honey from our own beehives. 

Wellness Inspired by Nature

At our spa, wellbeing is a conscious journey. In partnership with L’Occitane en Provence, we offer treatments that draw from the richness of nature, using ingredients like almond from Provence, shea butter and lavender from the Plateau de Valensole, all sustainably sourced and celebrated for their therapeutic properties.

Each ritual is designed to awaken the senses: from the soothing scent of verbena to the nourishing touch of Immortelle flower oil. Our signature treatments combine ancient massage techniques with L’Occitane’s sensorial expertise to promote deep relaxation and renewal.
