The house
IHGArt Deco residential cocoon
A discreet residential cocoon in bustling Polanquito, trading city commotion for light-filled botanical calm and relaxed social hours.
What it’s good at
Notable
A glass-roofed atrium filled with hanging greenery, anchoring corner rooms with curved windows.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Sidewalk bistros surround the hotel in lively Polanquito, with the leafy pathways of Parque Lincoln just a short stroll south.
The rooms
Handmade geometric tiles brighten bathrooms, while corner suites open curved floor-to-ceiling glass onto slim street-facing balconies.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated rooftop plunge pool is lined with built-in banquettes and shaded cabanas above the Polanco streetscape.
Dogs stay too.
La Caña Rooftop Bar & Restaurant
Under a glass canopy, the open-air bar serves craft mezcal cocktails and Mexican-Peruvian seafood dishes.
At the table
Pepe serves Iberian tapas and pintxos on the ground floor, opening wide onto Polanquito's pedestrian sidewalk.
How it began
Mexican architecture studio Ambrosi Etchegaray restored the protected 1940s corner building, transforming its central open patio into a sunlit glass atrium.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
