lHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), one of the world’s largest hotel companies, and Grupo Presidente announce the opening of the Presidente InterContinental Santa Fe in Mexico City. The tallest building in the area, the Presidente InterContinental Santa Fe offers stunning views of the Santa Fe area, the Valley of Mexico and the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes.

This luxury hotel features 111 spacious rooms, including 26 suites, all furnished with contemporary décor and the latest technology. There are also six meeting rooms for up to 300 people, an art gallery, seven stories of office facilities and six restaurants, including Au Pied de Cochon, The Palm, King Fish, Lucy Shanghai, City Bistrot and the soon to open Bamboo House, that feature cuisines ranging from Mexican and Asian to French.

“The Presidente InterContinental Santa Fe is IHG’s second InterContinental hotel in Mexico City and the 12th IHG-branded hotel with Grupo Presidente, which are a reflection of the strength of our long-standing relationship that dates back to 1994,” said Kirk Kinsell, president, the Americas, IHG. “With its ideal location, rich amenities and the famed personalized service of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the Presidente InterContinental Santa Fe is in a prime position to attract both international and domestic business and leisure travelers.”

The hotel hosts a gym, boutique, spa and beauty salon, operated under the L’Occitane brand, a terrace bar, the InterContinental Club Lounge and valet parking service. The property also offers shuttle services within the Santa Fe area.
