The Scoop:
Area is perhaps the sexiest, hottest creation that all of Mexico City has given birth to, and considering that Mexico City is the world's largest city, that's a very big statement. Some of you non-believers may argue in favor of the painfully-hot habanero peppers or the incredibly sexy women. But, I would think that you may have stopped for a few too many Margaritas before coming to this conclusion.

Located in the superbly cool Habita Hotel, Area Bar and Terrace is an open-air, all fresco roof-top bar that overlooks the parks of Polanco. The interior is minimal with sleek lines & modern finishes, and the bar has a 12-ft-long fireplace perfect for exchanging DNA with a saucy Latina. A lap pool bordering the interior is lit at night by a glass mural containing a network of LEDs, and live DJs spin the best in House and Downtempo for Mexico City's elite.

Best Time to Frolic:
Any months other than May–September. It can be very hot and humid during this time.

Insider Tips:
A magnet for Mexico's model scene, expect gorgeous Latinos in as little as possible lounging on the decks and throughout the lounge. Looking good and dressing the part is a must...Men, leave the board shorts, jeans and open-toe sandals for la playa and women, stillettos and cleavage are your friends. Make your way down the spiral staircase...that's where the VIP play.
