Accommodation

Main hotel: City Express by Marriott, https://www.marriott.com/es/hotels/mexpu-city-express-plus-ciudad-de-mexico-patio-universidad/overview/ (take metro from Zapata to Copilco, walk to campus 10 minutes or 20-minute taxi ride to campus).

Small B&B’s in Coyoacán:

• H21 Hospedaje Boutique: www.h21.mx
• Ágata: https://www.agatahotelboutiquespa.com/
• Meztli Casa Boutique & Spa: https://meztlicasaboutique.mydirectstay.com/
• Casa Moctezuma: https://casamoctezuma.com/
• Casa Tuna: https://tunacoyoacan.com/

NOTE: Although there are lovely hotels for all budgets around the city, traffic is nightmarish at rush hour and public transport good but unpredictable, so I suggest you stay close to the UNAM campus during the conference and move if you are staying on, to colonia Roma, Condesa, Polanco or, if you enjoy a fair bit of exciting mayhem, Centro (downtown area).
