Setting New Standards in Hospitality
Los Angeles Times
|September 11, 2025
In the heart of Mexico City, a historic hotel is breaking records, expanding fast, and reshaping expectations for luxury travel in Latin America.

The InterContinental Presidente in Polanco is having its best run in nearly five decades.
In 2024, the hotel posted its highest-ever annual performance. In 2025, revenue is already up 19.8% over that record year. “We're not just ahead, we're way ahead,” said General Manager Álvaro Rey. “This isn’t just recovery. It’s transformation.”
A bold renovation plan launched in 2023 turned skepticism into success. Despite limited funds in the aftermath of the pandemic, the hotel invested in its facilities and international outreach. That strategy delivered: InterContinental Presidente has since hosted global events like Miss Universe and Bloomberg's first-ever Latin American summit, requiring full buyouts of its nearly 700 rooms and all eight restaurants. “When Bloomberg left, they told us they were struggling to find another location that could compare,” Rey recalled.
