JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco, nestled in the heart of Mexico City’s prestigious Polanco District has completed renovations of the entrances and lobby, as well as new culinary concepts including a bar and mezcal room alongside over 900 square metres of re-designed meeting spaces all of which are rooted in the social, physical, and historical elements of Polanco.

This is the final stage of a renovation that started in 2021 with the full refurbishment and modernisation of its 269 guestrooms and 45 suites. Beyond this tangible change, the hotel is opening its doors to new experiences, serving as a platform for local talent with special events and offerings inspired in the great culture, gastronomy and traditions of Mexico.

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 evolution of these spaces provides a timeless design that creates the perfect ambiance for meaningful connections and a purposeful travel experience for both business and leisure guests. The property offers an unparalleled location overlooking 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.

The entrance of the hotel 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 honours the area’s heritage while embracing its present cosmopolitan allure of the surrounding neighbourhood. 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.
