Our first suggestion is Hotel María Cristina. It has the better quality/price ratio, the best location, and has also an attractive architecture. It is at a 17 minutes walk from the Casa Universitaria del Libro. The nearest hotel to Casa Universitaria del Libro is the Hotel Puebla (four blocks in a straight line by Puebla Street), and it is also the most economical. It is a good hotel in an interesting non-touristical neighborhood. Hotels in the list are not expensive. If you prefer a really fancy or elegant hotel, there are some available in the area. One of the most traditional high quality hotels in Mexico is the María Isabel Hotel, now María Isabel Sheraton (http://www.sheratonmexicocitymariaisabel.com/). In several respects this is one of the hearts of the city, just at the Independence Monument. There you would be still at walking distance from the venue of the meeting (20-25 minutes walk). Then you have the Marriot Hotel, also in Paseo de la Reforma (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/mexmc-mexico-city-marriott-reforma-hotel/), somewhat nearer the venue of the meeting. There are plenty of hotels in the Pink Zone area: you can do a search widening first the map as shown in the website of the meeting, and locating yourself in the triangle formed by Insurgentes, Reforma, and Florencia (and a small segment of Chapultepec Avenue).

Nuestra principal sugerencia es el Hotel María Cristina. Tiene la mejor relación calidad/precio, la mejor ubicación, y una arquitectura atractiva. Está a 17 minutos caminando desde la Casa Universitaria del Libro. El hotel más cercano a la Casa Universitaria del Libro es el Hotel Puebla (a cuatro cuadras en línea recta por la calle de Puebla), que también es el más económico. Es un buen hotel en un vecindario interesante no turístico. Los hoteles de la lista no son caros. Si se prefiere un hotel verdaderamente elegante o de lujo, hay varios en la zona. El Hotel María Isabel, hoy María Isabel Sheraton (http://www.sheratonmexicocitymariaisabel.com/) es de los hoteles de calidad más tradicionales de la ciudad y está ubicado en una esquina que es uno de los corazones de la ciudad. Está a distancia caminable de la Casa (unos 20-25 minutos). Luego está el Hotel Marriot, también en Paseo de la Reforma (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/mexmc-mexico-city-marriott-reforma-hotel/), algo más cerca de la sede de la reunión. En la llamada Zona Rosa hay muchos otros hoteles. Puede hacerse una búsqueda ampliando primero el mapa tal como se muestra en el sitio de la reunión, y enfocándose en el triángulo que forman Insurgentes, Reforma y Florencia (con un tramo pequeño de Avenida Chapultepec).

For those of you who will stay at the Hotel María Cristina, there are two special suggestions for the evenings, just half block from the hotel, in Río Neva street: La federal, a fancy cantina with good food and drinks always at 2x1 (pay one and get two). Then, La Casa de Toño, a place to eat a delicious pozole and other Mexican antojitos, with beer or aguas frescas (natural flavored water: horchata, jamaica, tamarindo).
Para quienes se hospeden en el Hotel María Cristina, sugerimos dos lugares especiales para cenar, a solo media cuadra del hotel, en la calle de Río Neva: La federal, una cantina elegante con buena comida y bebidas siempre a 2x1 (tomar dos y pagar una). Y La Casa de Toño, cuya especialidad es un delicioso pozole, pero tiene otros antojitos mexicanos, con cerveza o aguas frescas (aguas de sabor naturales: horchata, jamaica, tamarindo).
 
For all: also in the Pink Zone area, there are a lot of places to eat well in the evenings. I mention just some: El Tapeo in Oslo street is a very good Spanish place for tapas and wine. La Casa de los Abuelos is a not so fancy place with very good Mexican dishes. There is another La Casa de Toño in Londres street near the corner with Amberes. But the offer in this Zone is truly vast.
Para todos: también en la Zona Rosa, hay muchísimos lugares para cenar bien en las noches. Menciono sólo algunos: El Tapeo en la calle de Oslo es un lugar español muy bueno para comer tapas y vino. La Casa de los Abuelos es un lugar no muy elegante para comer buena comida mexicana. Hay otra sucursal de La Casa de Toño en la calle de Londres cerca de la esquina con Amberes. Pero la oferta en la Zona Rosa es muy vasta.

 

EMERGENCIES AND OTHER TELEPHONE NUMBERS

Mexico has a 911 service that can deal with all kind of emergencies. Here you have other numbers that might be useful, just in case:

Protección Civil: 55 5683 2222
Locatel: 55 5658 1111
Bomberos: 55 5768 3800
Cruz Roja (Red Cross): 911
Sistema de Aguas: 5654 3210

Please note: Telephone numbers in Mexico have always ten numbers, of which the first two or three are the prefix number of the city. Mexico City has the prefix 55. Prefix numbers are not used when calling within the same city. Long distance calls (from one prefix zone to another) add a long distance prefix, 01, in a regular number (044 within cell-phone numbers, and 045 from a regular to a cell-phone number).

OTHER INFORMATION

Chances are you might need a place to print a text from a USB memory, or to make copies, or to use a computer, or buy a notebook or a pen or pencil. Well, there are several places just one block from the Casa Universitaria del Libro, in the corner of Puebla and Jalapa. Look for
Cafe Internet (Jalapa Street, just around the corner)
Cibercafe (Puebla Street)
Café Rom@ (Puebla Street, passing Jalapa to the left)
Important: You won’t find these kind of services inside the Casa Universitaria del Libro.
