The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos in Spanish) celebrates the memory of deceased ancestors on November 1st and 2nd. Dating back to the Aztecs and Mayans, Mexicans believe the souls of the dead return to earth. In Mixquic, families build altars in their homes, visit cemeteries where loved ones are buried, and decorate graves with offerings such as marigolds, candies, toys and tequila. Families often spend all night beside graves playing cards, eating, drinking and dancing. Locals and travelers share pan de muerto (bread of the dead), a sweet egg bread decorated in white frosting, and dance in colorful costumes with skulls and devil masks in the main plaza. Some 15,000 travelers visit Mixquic during the Day of the Dead.
The 209-room Marquis Reforma, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, is located on fashionable Paseo de la Reforma and its renowned Chapultepec Park. The hotel is within a short walk or drive from the City's finest parks, restaurants, and museums including the National Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museo Rufino Tamayo, and the Museum of Popular Art.
A centerpiece of the hotel is the 16,000 square foot spa, the largest in the region and the only member of Leading Spas of the World in Mexico City. 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.
