InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, proudly introduces InterContinental Presidente Monterrey in alliance with Grupo Presidente. Located in Monterrey’s San Pedro Garza García neighborhood, the hotel is a minimalist retreat that feels worlds apart from its bustling urban surroundings.
Designed by Francesc Rifé Studio in Barcelona, InterContinental Presidente Monterrey beautifully juxtaposes its considered, contemporary style, quietly decadent touches, and modern amenities with a stunning mountain backdrop. The hotel’s striking façade has been thoughtfully crafted from metal and mobile wooden panels to protect the property from the sun’s intensity while still inviting in plenty of natural light. Inside, the use of natural materials like wood and stone have been carefully selected to create a refined, relaxing atmosphere.
Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “As we open the doors to InterContinental Presidente Monterrey with our trusted partners at Grupo Presidente, we are excited to enchant guests with an inspired setting, world-class dining experiences and the personalized service for which InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has been celebrated for more than 75 years. This hotel is a remarkable addition to our portfolio of luxury properties, bringing a sense of discovery to the modern luxury traveller.”
Braulio Arsuaga Losada, General Director of Grupo Presidente, stated: “We are thrilled to return to this destination with the InterContinental brand, a benchmark of contemporary luxury, in one of the fastest-growing areas in Nuevo León and the country. InterContinental Presidente Monterrey is our most ambitious project to date, and we take pride in bringing it to fruition alongside our partners at IHG Hotels & Resorts. Over the years, we have built a relationship based on mutual trust, friendship and a commitment to the national tourism industry, which is now renewed with this opening”.
An Urban Oasis
InterContinental Presidente Monterrey’s 293 guestrooms, including 25 expansive suites, have been meticulously curated to create harmonious, tranquil spaces for guests. Each guestroom has been outfitted with the highest quality finishes, including solid walnut and Gris Rochelle marble from Italy as well as furniture imported from Spain, while bathrooms feature luxurious amenities and rainfall showers. When ready to turn in for the night, guests can take in the sweeping views of the vibrant San Pedro Garza García neighborhood as well as the Sierra Madre de Chipinque mountains in the distance from their guestroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows with automated curtains.
Culinary Excellence
The hotel’s three dining destinations welcome visitors with an enticing combination of national and international flavors that tempt all tastes and palates:
– Lilōu: With its sophisticated setting, Lilōu is a modern tribute to the tradition of all-day dining in cities like New York, London and Paris. Featuring a menu of elevated international dishes, Lilōu is poised to stand out among the best restaurants in Monterrey.
– Epicentro: Celebrating the innovation and legacy of the original Epicentro at InterContinental Presidente Mexico City, this latest outpost of the gin and tonic-focused cocktail bar welcomes guests with inspired cocktails in an intimate atmosphere complemented by exemplary service that reflects the warm hospitality and spirit of Northern Mexico.
– Chapulín: Due to open in April and drawing from the heritage of its predecessor in Mexico City, Chapulín celebrates the history and flavors of Mexico. The menu offers a tour that highlights the work of the Mexican fields and seas, honoring those who cultivate each. With a seafood bar, a clay comal and the aroma of embers, guests can traverse through the regions of Mexico, from north to south.
