01 / The experience

Balcón del Zócalo

Choose Balcón del Zócalo for a destination meal overlooking the historic centre. The terrace and dining room sit on the sixth floor of Zócalo Central Hotel, with contemporary Mexican cooking and views across the square.

Reserve early for race weekend and confirm whether your sitting is on the terrace or indoors. Centro traffic and pedestrian controls can change journey times, so leave a generous buffer before dinner.
