The honest take
Book the Four Seasons if the budget stretches to it: at $1,213 versus $1,108 it is only about $105 more a night and adds a hot tub to an otherwise similar five-star spa package, plus a slightly higher guest rating from a comparable number of reviews. The Ritz-Carlton is the sharper choice if you want the same Reforma address and a very similar standard of service for less. Both are within 0.2km of each other, so location is a wash; the decision comes down to spa completeness and the small rating gap.
The look and the feel
Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
The Four Seasons Mexico City is built around a genuine colonial-revival courtyard set back from the traffic of Paseo de la Reforma, with a fountain, potted palms and a covered arcade that makes the lobby feel more like a private hacienda than a modern tower. Rooms lean into a restrained, contemporary Mexican palette of warm woods and neutral upholstery rather than heavy ornament. El Bar and the Becco restaurant sit off the courtyard, and the Wednesday champagne tasting and English barbershop give the place a slightly clubby, ritual feel. It draws business travellers and well-heeled visitors who want quiet formality within walking distance of the Roma and Condesa scene.
Guests who want a quieter, garden-courtyard hotel with a full spa and are willing to pay slightly more for it.
The Ritz-Carlton
The Ritz-Carlton occupies a high-rise position directly on Reforma, closer to the boulevard's traffic and skyline than the Four Seasons' courtyard retreat, with an indoor pool and terrace that suggest views over the avenue toward the Angel of Independence. The listing describes a fairly standard luxury-chain interior of fitness centre, à la carte dining and concierge service, without the singular architectural gesture the Four Seasons has in its courtyard. It suits guests who want the Ritz name, a central Reforma address and straightforward five-star service rather than a distinctive design statement.
Guests who want the same Reforma corridor, indoor pool and terrace views, at a marginally lower nightly rate.
At $105 a night less, the Ritz-Carlton has no listed hot tub, the one amenity the Four Seasons offers that it doesn't.
The Four Seasons is the more characterful place to be, thanks to its enclosed colonial-style courtyard, which gives it an intimacy the Ritz's more conventional high-rise interior doesn't attempt.

“No Marriott Bonvoy points”
The hotel and staff were lovely. However, they will not award me my Marriott Bonvoy points as the hotel was booked via a travel agent rather than direct.
