Where to stay in Polanco

The expensive quarter, west of Chapultepec: embassies, the fine-dining list, Masaryk with its flagship stores, and the museums on the park's edge — the Anthropology Museum, the castle, the Soumaya and Jumex a little north. The streets are wide, clean, quiet and patrolled, and very little happens on them. Anzures, next door across the Circuito, is a cheaper and quieter neighbourhood and is not part of this area.
