| | Marquis Reforma | | | Mexico City - Ancient Aztec pyramids, Frida Kahlo's "Casa Azul," and a half-day city orientation are among the activity options featured in the "Mexico City Sampler" package offered by the 209-room boutique Marquis Reforma hotel.
 Guests choose one of three cultural excursions: a trek to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan and a visit to the Basilica de Guadalupe; Saturday shopping at the world-famous Bazar Sabado and a visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum housed in her family's Casa Azul, or a half-day tour of the sites that make this vast cosmopolitan hub so unique and culturally rich.
 The "Mexico City Sampler" is $370 per room, per night, based on double occupancy through December 31, 2008, and includes accommodations in a one-bedroom suite, daily buffet breakfast, complimentary fresh fruit and bottled water each day, early check-in and late checkout, and choice of excursion. To experience all three excursions, travelers can buy three back-to-back "Mexico City Sampler" packages. For reservations or more information, call 1-800-235-2387 or book online at http://www.marquisreforma.com/.
 Marquis Reforma, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, is located on fashionable Paseo de la Reforma 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. Bar Caviar offers a chic ambience for cocktails with its sleek furnishings and a 20-foot high, dramatic and brilliantly colored hand-blown glass chandelier.
 The hotel's unique mix of contemporary and traditional Mexican painting and sculpture, as well as a collection of artwork that reflects the Art Deco designs of the 1930s and 1940s, enhances the charm and warmth of the hotel. Its glowing pink granite and glass facade has welcomed many international celebrities.
