Traveling doesn’t always mean hopping on a plane or leaving the city. Sometimes, all it takes is a change of pace. In one of Mexico City’s most elegant and vibrant neighborhoods, Kimpton Virgilio stands out as the perfect retreat for those looking to relax over the weekend without giving up the urban energy that makes the capital unique.

Located in Polanco, one of the city’s most sophisticated districts, the hotel offers the best of both worlds: world-class museums such as the National Museum of Anthropology or the Soumaya Museum, luxury shopping along Avenida Presidente Masaryk, and expansive green spaces like Chapultepec Forest—all just minutes away. Only 30 minutes from the international airport, it’s also an ideal base for international travelers who are keen to explore the city with ease.

Boutique design with local character

With just 48 rooms and suites, Kimpton Virgilio offers an intimate, carefully curated experience. The design blends contemporary lines with a deep respect for local traditions: handcrafted furniture, hand-painted tiles, Mexican artwork, and woven textiles that tell a story. Every detail reflects the creative spirit of Mexico City, turning each stay into an authentic and welcoming experience.

Culinary experiences worth savoring

The hotel is also a destination in its own right for food lovers. Pepe Mesa Española, led by chef Carlos Soto, reinterprets Iberian cuisine with a modern, international twist. Dishes such as pressed lamb with orange and ginger or pantomate with crab elevate the dining experience, while desserts like guava cheesecake pops provide a fresh and memorable finish.

At the top of the building, La Caña, the rooftop pool and bar, offers a true urban oasis. Its relaxed atmosphere, international music, and menu inspired by Latin American flavors—featuring fresh seafood with Peruvian and Mexican touches—make it the perfect spot to spend the afternoon or enjoy the evening without leaving the hotel.

Urban wellness

Relaxation is central to the experience. The rooftop pool, surrounded by cabanas, invites guests to unwind after a day of exploring, while the fully equipped gym and complimentary outdoor yoga classes offer ways to balance body and mind. Each evening, the Kimpton Social Hour provides a space to mingle over a glass of wine or a cocktail, enhancing the sense of community and leisure.

Thoughtful touches that make a difference

From bicycles to explore Polanco to morning coffee and pastries, Kimpton Virgilio takes care of every detail. It's “Forgot it? We’ve got it!” philosophy ensures nothing is missing, and its pet-friendly policy—with no fees or weight limits—makes it an ideal choice for those traveling with furry companions.
