JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco, located in Mexico City’s Polanco District, has completed remodeling of the entrances and lobby, as well as new culinary concepts including a bar and mezcal room along 929 square feet of re-designed meeting spaces. This is the final stage of a renovation that started in 2021 with the full refurbishment and modernization of its 269 guestrooms and 45 suites.
Originally opened in 1996, the Mexico City property was the first JW Marriott hotel outside of the United States and now, with redefined interiors, is ushering in a new era of luxury for the brand. The JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco overlooks Chapultepec Park with proximity to some of the city’s most visited sites, including the Museum of Anthropology, National Auditorium, Zócalo central square and the Palace of Fine Arts. Its impressive structure acts as a window to Paseo de la Reforma and is considered a landmark, fully rooted in the urban fabric of the Polanco district.
“Our storied hotel has gone through both a physical and emotional transformation, evolving to meet the needs of today’s discerning travelers,” Ramon Diago, GM of JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco, said in a statement. “We are delighted to offer guests the perfect place to connect with themselves, each other and the magic of Mexico City, all in an elegant and beautifully modern space.”
The entrance of the JW Mexico City Polanco has been transformed to welcome guests and in turn, sets the tone for their entire stay. The lobby serves as a connector, much like Pasaje Polanco of the past, linking various elements of the hotel and guest experience seamlessly. It's not just a transient space but a vibrant hub where guests from diverse backgrounds converge, creating an atmosphere that honors the area's heritage while embracing its present cosmopolitan allure of the surrounding neighborhood. Whether guests are there for leisure or business, the lobby becomes a reflection of the vibrant pulse of Polanco, inviting them into an immersive experience that intertwines history, culture, and contemporary luxury.
The expanded culinary concepts at the JW Mexico City allow guests to embark on an enticing gastronomic adventure that intertwines exquisite flavors with the history and culture of Mexico City. The program acts as a passageway through a captivating array of dining and cocktail experiences, meticulously curated to complement the essence of the vibrant neighborhood. The new spaces include:
- Sendero Polanco – Delve into a culinary odyssey that celebrates the richness of the gastronomy of Mexico and Latin America. At Sendero Polanco, a welcoming atmosphere is created that fuses history, tradition and creativity, inviting everyone to enjoy an experience for the senses. The restaurant will offer a breakfast, lunch and dinner service.
- ESTACION 29 Cocktail and Wine Bar – Inspired by the inaugural Mexico City railway in Polanco, ESTACION 29 Cocktail and Wine Bar allows guests to step into an era of nostalgia while enjoying meticulously crafted cocktails and select wines. It serves as a dynamic hub for local talent, showcasing live performances while also highlighting regional offerings through brand takeovers and collaborations. This vibrant space embodies the fusion of nostalgia, diverse cultures, and a celebration of local creativity in both its ambiance and offerings.
- Tahona Mezcal Room – This carefully crafted space was designed to allow guests the chance to immerse themselves in an exclusive, intimate encounter with the enchanting world of mezcal. The beverage programming provides the opportunity to dance through a carefully curated selection of premium, handcrafted mezcals from revered masters across Mexico in a captivating space up to eight guests.
Additionally, an additional three culinary experiences are set to debut in spring 2024. Corsi, an open kitchen concept focused on pasta and seafood, and Archiebald, an American steakhouse. These unique establishments, the third of which will be announced at a later date, will aim to enrich the lobby level with diverse dining options that will guide guests through a gastronomic journey.
