The Alest sits on Eugenio Sue in the cosmopolitan Polanco neighbourhood of Mexico City, an intimate boutique urban hotel. Designed with intentional eclecticism, a European-inspired facade and interiors by Sofia Aspe with architecture by Beta Estudio, it has 19 rooms across eight categories, from Superior and Deluxe rooms to the Grand Deluxe Alest Suite of 78 square metres with a private terrace and a marble bath with a soaking tub. Named suites interconnect for larger groups, up to around 184 square metres, or a terrace event for 35. Dining is centred on Bar 45 and a lobby, bar and restaurant, with a room-service kitchen. The hotel was the first boutique property in Mexico to receive the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences Five Star Diamond Award. Experiences run through a bespoke Alest Experiences programme and Cozi Events, from showrooms and micro-weddings to full-hotel buy-outs. Independent and boutique, it suits design-oriented travellers and couples who want an intimate boutique stay in Polanco, and groups seeking private events or buy-outs.
