Casa Polanco is a small luxury hotel located in the heart of Polanco, one of Mexico City's most vibrant and exclusive neighborhoods. The challenge was to restore, renovate, and expand a 1940s mansion while maintaining its original character, but at the same time providing a new sophisticated and contemporary ambiance befitting its new hospitality destination.
The new building maintains a dialogue with the original house without detracting from its preponderance while bringing new life and greater functionality to the architectural complex. Each corner of the hotel overflows with subtle architectural and artistic details that communicate the personality of a cosmopolitan and contemporary Mexico.
The public spaces, such as the lobby, library/bar, restaurant, spa, and terraces, offer guests an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication and serenity. Each suite is different from the other and were designed with the idea of providing a unique and personalized space, allowing the guest to discover a different experience during each visit.
"Contemporary life is a never-ending journey of discovery, Casa Polanco is a sanctuary for travelers seeking to explore the beauty & culture of Mexico”
