Traveling in December usually means choosing between celebrating or escaping. In Mexico, both happen at the same time. During the last weeks of the year, some of its most outstanding hotels reinterpret the festive season as a full travel experience, designed to explore the country through its food, music, and landscapes.

Celebrations that linger in memory

In December, the Presidente InterContinental Mexico City showcases its best version: one where time is measured in toasts and every table tells a story. Alfredo Di Roma, Au Pied de Cochon, Chapulín, The Palm, Tokoya, Lilōu, and Amaral join a season marked by special Christmas Eve dinners, menus designed for sharing at home, and comforting flavors. The crowning moment comes with a Gatsby-inspired New Year’s Eve celebration, complete with Art Deco touches, music, and a leisurely festive spirit. A plan where luxury is lived naturally and the end of the year is savored down to the last detail.

Festive spirit to the rhythm of Hard Rock

This season, Hard Rock Hotel turns its destinations in Cancún, Riviera Maya, Vallarta, Los Cabos, and Punta Cana into stages where music sets the tone for every moment of the trip. A limited edition vinyl, Hard Rock Holidays, and a curated Spotify playlist accompany pool days, dinners, and sunsets with unexpected versions of holiday classics. Fender guitars in the room, turntables ready to spin, and a vibrant atmosphere confirm that here, the celebration is not only lived—it’s heard.

Flavors that bring people together in Polanco

At Hyatt Regency Mexico City, December is celebrated around the table and through small rituals that become memorable. Amado sweetens the season with artisanal bakery and chocolate creations, while Rulfo becomes the epicenter of celebrations with two buffet dinners showcasing culinary diversity. From traditional codfish and turkey to international stations and live music, each night invites guests to toast, share, and bid farewell to the year with elegance, warmth, and the signature hospitality that distinguishes the hotel.

December on the Pacific coast

At Rosewood Mandarina, the festive season flows to the rhythm of the sea and jungle. Traditional posadas, intimate dinners by the ocean, lively breakfasts, and white-themed New Year’s celebrations create an experience where sophistication is serene and time is savored without rush. Mexican cuisine, wellness rituals, live music, and outdoor activities accompany days designed for reconnecting, sharing, and closing the year with intention, surrounded by the natural beauty of Riviera Nayarit.

Ring in the New Year at La Bóveda

Welcoming the new year at Casona Sforza takes place under the Pacific stars, with La Bóveda transformed into a stage where architecture, the sea, and music meet. A high-end dinner leads into midnight toasts, accompanied by a DJ set, champagne, and sparklers lighting up the beach. More than a party, it’s a serene yet festive transition, true to the spirit of the hotel: celebrating shared time, the landscape, and the beauty of the essential.

Happy Holidays!
