The classiest (and cosiest) address for business travellers in the DF is currently Las Alcobas, a small seven-storey, 35-room hotel nestled among the chic boutiques and leafy European-style outdoor cafes along Avenida Masaryk in the upscale colonia (neighbourhood) of Polanco.
From the time I was a child, my mother told me about growing up in the newly-independent Czechoslovakia led by President Masaryk, about the horror of the Nazi occupation, and about the hopes for a new beginning after the war, only to have the Communists take over.
