Take the Family on Business: In Mexico City, Marquis Reforma's 'Family Business' Package Turns the City Into a Cosmopolitan Playground

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking the family on business trips is a trend that continues to grow, as parents increasingly view business travel as an opportunity to spend precious time with family and create lifelong memories. Mexico City, for example, becomes a cosmopolitan playground for families with the Marquis Reforma's "Family Business" package, which offers learning and play in one of the world's great culture capitals -- as well as good value in a country where the dollar is strong.

"Family Business" includes accommodations in a spacious suite, breakfast buffet for parents and children (two children up to 12 years old), and excursions (including transportation and tickets) to the monumental ruins of the pre-Aztec city of Teotihuacan, and to the contemporary Ciudad de los Ninos (City of Children). The package is $320 per room, per night, plus taxes, Monday through Sunday, through December 31, 2008, with a minimum of two nights. For reservations, visit www.marquisreforma.com or call toll-free 1-800-235-2387.

Teotihuacan, a sprawling metropolis of 200,000 people at its zenith in AD 400, was discovered by the Aztecs centuries after its ruin, who named it Teotihuacan, which means "place where men became gods." At the innovative La Ciudad de los Ninos (City of Children), families discover a real, kid-sized city complete with streets, buildings, businesses and vehicles, where kids can play the roles of more than 60 professions, earn a salary and transact "business" with "official currency," all under the supervision of a highly- qualified adult team.

Mexico City's finest museums are a stroll from the Marquis Reforma, including the National Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museo Rufino Tamayo, and the Museum of Popular Art. Most Mexico City museums have children's programs during the weekends so parents can enjoy exhibitions on their own.

The Marquis Reforma is a boutique, Art Deco-styled hotel located on fashionable Paseo de la Reforma, called Mexico's answer to the Champs Elysees and one of the most important and impressive avenues in all of Latin America. The hotel's prized address has made it a favorite for corporate titans and international celebrities. Its 209 rooms and suites offer dramatic views over Mexico City's rooftops or down Reforma Avenue.
