History
Rising over Chapultepec in the Polanco district, the tower designed by architect Juan Sordo Madaleno was constructed between 1969 and 1977 and for a time ranked among the tallest reinforced-concrete buildings in the world. It opened its doors at 6 a.m. on 1 August 1977 and was officially inaugurated on 18 September 1977 by then-President José López Portillo, originally operating as the Hotel El Presidente Chapultepec — for years the only high-end hotel in Polanco.
Owned by Nacional Hotelera, the property was acquired by new owners in 1988 and renamed Hotel Stouffer Presidente, then joined the InterContinental Hotels Group in 1994, taking its current name while remaining owned by Grupo Presidente.
