MEXICO CITY
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company recently announced plans to open its first hotel in Mexico City in 2019. Upon completion, the 153-room Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City will operate under a long term management agreement with Thor Urbana Capital and Heldan Hotels & Resorts.
The hotel marks a significant milestone for Ritz-Carlton development in the Caribbean and Latin America, representing its entry into one of the region's most prominent capital cities.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Thor Urbana Capital and Heldan Hotels & Resorts to expand our presence in the Caribbean and Latin America, particularly in Mexico City—an epicenter of commerce and culture," said Herve Humler, president and chief operations officer for The Ritz-Carlton. "Mexico remains one of the largest and most important international markets for our company.”
The hotel will be part of the Chapultepec Uno mixed use project, located at the intersection of Avenida Reforma and Circuito Interior in the heart of the city's financial center. Once completed, the structure will include 58 floors and 1.1 million square feet of space, rendering it one of the tallest buildings in the city. KMD Architects and Taller GLOBAL are leading design and architectural efforts for the project.
The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City will occupy floors 36 to 47 of the building, featuring unobstructed views of Chapultepec Park. The hotel will include signature Ritz-Carlton luxury services and amenities.
There was no word at this time on the amount of meeting space planned for the property.
