New and improved hotels for Mexico City
A number of hotel operators have confirmed plans to provide new and improved properties in Mexico City from this year in a bid to meet demand from business and leisure travellers.
Starwood; Marriott; and Hilton are among the groups to eye the development and overhaul of new and existing sites in the Mexican capital, which receives 12 million visitors a year. W Hotels - the luxury division of Starwood Hotels and Resorts - is to expand with a new 132-room property in Santa Fe to comprise a 4,000sq ft (371sq m) Away Spa.
The hotel is earmarked to open in 2014 and will also feature a range of destination eateries and bars; a pool deck; and a fitness facility. It will form part of the Liberty Plaza scheme. Meanwhile, the existing, eight-year-old W Mexico City property is to undergo a renovation over the next couple of years - located in the upscale Polanco neighbourhood.
Marriott International has announced plans to open the first Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Mexico City at the Benito Juarez International Airport in early 2012. Elsewhere, Hilton Worldwide has unveiled plans to expand its Doubletree by Hilton estate in Mexico - including a new site in Mexico City to open later this year.
