Located in the heart of Polanco, one of the most exclusive and cosmopolitan neighborhoods in Mexico City, The Wild Oscar is a luxury residence focused on the sophisticated business traveler, distinguished by its intimate atmosphere and meticulous design that blends elegance and comfort with relaxation and functionality.

The property features 31 finely decorated suites and rooms inspired by four different themes: The Lord Savile, The Happy Prince, The Dorian Gray, and (naturally) The Oscar Wilde. All are adorned with parquet floors, Edison-style bulbs, king-size beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, and spa-like bathrooms with organic amenities. Not to mention the workspaces, perfect for guests who want to move forward with business or personal projects while enjoying the privacy, comfort, and smart services of their rooms (which often allow stays not just for a few days, but for weeks or even months).

For all these reasons—and for its distinguished hospitality concept (the personalized service at The Wild Oscar is fantastic), praised by hundreds of guests from around the world—the hotel was awarded the Michelin Key in 2024, the highest recognition granted by the Michelin Guide to properties of excellence, reaffirming its commitment to delivering the finest luxury lodging experience in the best area of Mexico City.

Why do we like it?

The WO, as it is also known, stands out for its location at Lamartine 516, just steps away from Campos Elíseos, one of the most prestigious avenues in Mexico City, lined with boutiques and exclusive restaurants such as Saks Polanco, ready to welcome distinguished diners for breakfast or a business meeting.

Among its rooms, the Terrace Premier City View suites win us over—fully equipped and featuring a wonderful balcony that allows guests to admire Polanco’s tree-lined scenery—and the Terrace Suite Deluxe, the hotel’s most important room, offers an unmatched sense of space and distinction, along with a beautiful private terrace overlooking Lamartine Street and, a bit farther away, Campos Elíseos Avenue. This last suite is our recommendation for travelers who want to experience the true essence of staying at The Wild Oscar.

Other spaces that delight us in this residence include Constance, its restaurant, which offers an original fusion of flavors shaped by the experience and trajectory of its chef, who combines traditional Mexican techniques and ingredients with the best culinary offerings from different regions of the world. There is also The Wild Rooftop, an unbeatable setting (available for private meetings or corporate events) where, accompanied by a delicious cocktail—and perhaps celebrating the success of an important business meeting—guests can enjoy incredible 360-degree views of the incomparable Mexico City skyline.

Finally, you can’t say goodbye to The Wild Oscar without taking a photo in its main lounge, where you’ll find a portrait of Oscar Wilde, and sharing it on your social media while remembering the words of the notable Irish writer: “Life is too short to take it seriously.”
