The honest take
Book Las Alcobas. It rates higher (9.8 vs 9.6), costs $910 against $1,494, and has a pool, parking and a rooftop that Casa Polanco doesn't list. Both sit in Polanco within a few hundred metres of each other, so location isn't the deciding factor here - the amenity list and the price are.
The look and the feel
Casa Polanco Hotel Boutique
Casa Polanco reads as a smaller boutique conversion, the kind of Polanco townhouse turned hotel with a handful of rooms, a terrace, free bikes and a fitness corner rather than a full leisure floor. The about copy leans on words like 'luxurious' and 'stunning' without giving much texture, which usually means a competent, comfortable, fairly generic five-star finish - flat-screens, minibars, a coffee machine, a balcony if you're lucky - rather than a signature design statement.
Casa Polanco suits someone who wants an intimate, low-key boutique stay and doesn't need a pool or spa.
Las Alcobas
Las Alcobas is part of Marriott's Luxury Collection and sits on Avenida Presidente Masaryk, Polanco's smart retail spine. It has 35 individually decorated rooms rather than a standard block, a spa, and a restaurant with room service, which points to a hotel built around a proper lobby-bar-restaurant sequence rather than just guest floors. The individually decorated rooms and the addition of a rooftop and pool suggest a hotel designed to be lingered in, not just slept in.
Las Alcobas suits anyone who wants a full luxury-hotel experience - spa, rooftop, pool, individually styled rooms - on Polanco's best shopping street.
At $910, Las Alcobas already outranks Casa Polanco on facilities, so here it's Casa Polanco, the pricier option, that gives up the pool, parking and rooftop - an unusual trade-off where paying more buys less.
Las Alcobas is the more characterful place to be, with individually decorated rooms, a spa and a rooftop pointing to a hotel built for atmosphere, while Casa Polanco's listing suggests comfort without much design ambition.
