Architecture Type: Polanco Eclecticism
The Alest Hotel showcases a striking style of Intentional Eclecticism, seamlessly masterminded by architect José Ignacio Jiménez of Beta Estudio and interior designer Sofía Aspe. The structure beautifully disrupts the neighbourhood's modern landscape by blending a British-inspired facade with classical European lines, all while giving a respectful nod to the historic Neocolonial and Californian-style residential manors native to Polanco.
The Facade: Showcases a clean, stately European profile with large windows that invite soft natural light.
The Interior Structure: Merges disparate design eras through noble materials like polished marble, rich wood paneling, and tactile textiles.
The Concept: A deliberate dialogue where timeless Old-World elegance coexists effortlessly with contemporary Mexican artistic expressions.
