Hotel Camino Real Polanco
Barragán's language scaled up to a hotel by his heir Legorreta — bold color planes, water, shade around courtyards. Walk in and wander the lobby; you don't need a room to read it.
Legorreta's 1968 hotel — low, massive walls in magenta and yellow, a perforated lattice screen, and courtyards holding works by Calder and Goeritz. Wander the lobby free.
