How to Stay in Mexico City Hotels on Points

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated August 2026
The short answer: Mexico City has boomed as a culture and business destination, pushing rates up while staying cheaper than comparable capitals, so points stretch well. Hyatt, Marriott, and Hilton run the city, reached with Chase or Bilt for Hyatt and Amex for the rest.

An affordable-luxury capital

Mexico City has surged in popularity, and central cash rates in neighborhoods like Polanco and Roma have climbed with it, yet they remain lower than in comparable global capitals, so points go further per night. The growing chain presence, led by Hyatt and Marriott, makes a stylish capital stay an easy redemption.

The cards and transfer partners to use

Hyatt runs the Andaz Mexico City and Hyatt Regency, reached only through Chase or Bilt. Marriott, including the St Regis and W, is reached through Amex, Chase, and Bilt, and Hilton through Amex or Bilt. A Chase or Bilt card plus an Amex reaches the capital top hotels.

Co-brand nights for Polanco stays

For a top Polanco property, a co-brand free night locks a fixed points cost. The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and Hilton Honors certificates each cover many city hotels, and the World of Hyatt free night suits the Andaz. Check space on rooms.aero. See best cities for hotel points.
