Hilton seems to be more creative than most hotel companies in Latin America. A few months ago, I reported on the Barbie doll-themed hotel room at the Hilton Panama in Panama City, Panama. Now, racing fans can indulge in rather unique Mexico City hotel accommodations, as the Hilton Mexico City Reforma unveils its McLaren-Honda inspired Racing Suite.

I stayed at — and loved — the Hilton Mexico City Reforma a while back (the hotel even made it onto my roundup of 8 Great Hotels in Mexico City, winning the award for best views and best club-level elite lounge).
Formula 1 drivers Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso are the inspiration for this motor racing-themed suite, which debuts in time for the Mexico City Grand Prix in Mexico‘s capital. And you can reserve your own “pit stop” accommodations at this luxurious Mexico City hotel — but only for a limited time (you’ve got until November 6 to check in, and you can reserve by visiting the hotel’s Website).

To celebrate 11 years as a partner of the McLaren-Honda Formula 1 team, Hilton has created the ultimate racing aficionado’s dream in time for the race season finale of the Formula 1 Gran Premio de Mexico 2016. As you can see in the photos, the hotel suite is packed full of genuine McLaren-Honda racing equipment and memorabilia handpicked by the team, including driver race suits and helmets, a stack of Pirelli tires and a real McLaren-Honda racing car steering wheel.
The unique racing-themed suite is designed to coincide with the Mexico City Grand Prix, which takes place October 28 – 30, 2016.
