MEXICO CITY—The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. unveiled 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.
“Mexico remains one of the largest and most important international markets for our company, and we are confident that our legendary Ritz-Carlton service and culture is a perfect match for this vibrant, exciting destination,” said Herve Humler, president and COO for The Ritz-Carlton.
The hotel will be part of the Chapultepec Uno mixed-use project, prominently located at the intersection of Avenida Reforma and Circuito Interior in the heart of the city’s financial center. Once completed, the stunning structure will include 58 floors and 1.1 million sq. ft. of space, rendering it one of the tallest buildings in the city. KMD Architects and Taller GLOBAL are leading the design and architectural efforts for the project.
The property will occupy floors 36-47 of the building, featuring unobstructed views of Chapultepec Park and will include signature Ritz-Carlton luxury services and amenities including a Club Lounge and spa.
“Travel to Mexico continues to grow for both business and leisure travel throughout the Caribbean and Latin America region and for inbound travel to the United States,” said Gabriel Helfon, CEO of Heldan Hotels & Resorts. “This project will play a helpful role in the continued emergence and success of Mexico City as a leading international destination.”
