The honest take
The Four Seasons sits on Paseo de la Reforma at nine times the price of the JW Marriott Santa Fe, and that price buys you the address, the courtyard, and a genuinely storied Mexico City hotel. The JW Marriott, out in the Santa Fe business district, has its own pool, hot tub and spa and a nearly identical guest rating at $132 a night. Unless Reforma itself matters to your trip, the Marriott is the rational booking; the Four Seasons is for when the location and the name are the point.
The look and the feel
Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
The Four Seasons occupies a low, colonial-revival building set back from Reforma behind wrought-iron gates, built in the 1990s to evoke an older Mexico City mansion rather than a glass tower. The lobby opens onto a central courtyard with a fountain and clipped hedges, a quiet, formal, slightly hushed space that filters out the traffic noise of the avenue outside. Rooms lean dark wood, cream upholstery and heavy drapery, more discreet colonial hotel than contemporary design statement. El Bar and the courtyard terrace are where the hotel actually performs, drawing diplomats, visiting executives and old Mexico City money for evening drinks under the arcades.
Travellers who want to be on Reforma itself, near the Zona Rosa and Chapultepec, and for whom the hotel's own courtyard and bar are part of the trip.
JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Santa Fe
The JW Marriott Santa Fe is a modern high-rise hotel serving the corporate towers of the Santa Fe district, its interiors built around the standard JW template: marble floors, warm wood panelling, an atrium-style lobby with a bar island at its centre. Rooms are contemporary and unfussy, marble bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, the kind of consistent comfort you'd expect walking into any recent JW build. The neighbourhood outside is glass office blocks and a shopping mall rather than the boulevards of the centre, so evenings here are hotel-bound rather than street life.
Business travellers working in Santa Fe, or anyone who wants a genuinely comfortable five-star stay for a fraction of the price and doesn't mind being outside the historic centre.
The Marriott has no listed hot tub-equivalent gap since it matches the Four Seasons on pool, spa and hot tub; what it actually gives up is the Reforma address, the pet allowance, and the sense of occasion that comes with a Four Seasons courtyard and dedicated barbershop.
The Four Seasons is the more atmospheric building to sit in, with its courtyard and colonial detailing doing real architectural work, while the JW Marriott is a well-run corporate hotel with little to look at beyond its marble lobby.

“Good over all experience.”
The location, the bed, the place.
Customer service was more a "want to" than a hotel ingrained value. When asking for an early (30 min) early check in, the response over the phone was a short clear "no". When asking for coffee cups in the room, the response was far from "we'll send them". Need to ask, why are there no coffee cups in the room? Just p
