Ancient Aztec pyramids, Frida Kahlo's "Casa Azul," and a half-day city orientation are among the activity options featured in the "Mexico City Sampler" package offered by the 209-room boutique Marquis Reforma hotel.

Guests choose one of three cultural excursions: a trek to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán and a visit to the Basilica de Guadalupe; Saturday shopping at the world-famous Bazar Sábado and a visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum housed in her family's Casa Azul, or a half-day tour of the sites that make this vast cosmopolitan hub so unique and culturally rich.

The "Mexico City Sampler" is $370 per room, per night, based on double occupancy through December 31, 2008, and includes accommodations in a one-bedroom suite, daily buffet breakfast, complimentary fresh fruit and bottled water each day, early check-in and late checkout, and choice of excursion. To experience all three excursions, travelers can buy three back-to-back "Mexico City Sampler" packages. Additional nights (room only) are available at $250 per night.

The hotel's La Jolla restaurant is presided over by a chef honored at the illustrious Beard House in New York, and its new Los Canarios restaurant is already one of the City's top power lunch dining spots, where live canaries serenade guests. Bar Caviar offers a chic ambience for cocktails with its sleek furnishings and a 20-foot high, dramatic and brilliantly colored hand-blown glass chandelier

The hotel's unique mix of contemporary and traditional Mexican painting and sculpture, as well as a collection of artwork that reflects the Art Deco designs of the 1930s and 1940s, enhances the charm and warmth of the hotel. Its glowing pink granite and glass façade has welcomed international celebrities including Salma Hayek, Sting, Luis Miguel, Liza Minelli, Phil Collins, and Elton John. All rooms and suites offer dramatic views over Mexico City's rooftops or down Reforma Avenue.
