Polanquito's pedestrian dining streets begin at the doorstep, while the luxury boutiques of Avenida Presidente Masaryk sit two blocks north.
The rooms
Natural stone and rich wood floorings anchor the spaces, where most rooms feature oversized freestanding soaking tubs and select suites add balconies.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An open-air plunge pool sits on the rooftop terrace, looking out over the treetops of Parque Lincoln.
How it began
Originally constructed in 1940 as private residential apartments, the historic building preserves its distinct street facade and original outdoor terrace proportions.
