W Hotels to Open Second Property in Mexico City

Accelerating growth in Latin America, W Hotels Worldwide announced plans to open the second W Hotel in Mexico City, to be located within the Santa Fe business district. Managed under an agreement between Starwood Hotels & Resorts, ALHEL and GIM Desarrollos, W Santa Fe is slated to open in 2014.

W Santa Fe will be part of a new-build, mixed-use development called Liberty Plaza, designed by Richard Meier, Edmonds International and Krause Sawye. Interiors of W Sante Fe are being designed jointly by Mexico-based Edmonds International and New York-based KrauseSawyer. A dramatic staircase will be a sculptural centerpiece of the hotel’s multi-story Living Room (W’s take on the traditional hotel lobby), and the hotel will feature 132 guestrooms with city views; several destination bar and restaurant options, including W’s signature Living Room bar and café; Wet pool deck with outdoor bar; 4,000-square-foot Away Spa, with nine treatment rooms; Sweat fitness facility; and 7,800 square feet of meeting and event space, including a 3,000-square-feet Great Room.

Situated less than 20 minutes from Toluca airport, W Santa Fe will be within walking distance of the BBVA Bancomer Convention Center and conveniently located near Sante Fe’s numerous restaurants, stylish shopping and dynamic entertainment facilities.
