The St. Regis Gets Some Mexican Flavor With New Hotel
Instead of getting that emergency dental surgery you so desperately need, head to Mexico, where the government will pay for your procedure and you can use your root-canal money on the newly opened St. Regis Mexico City.
And at $199 a night, you might have dough left over to treat yourself to a massage at the Remède Spa or to have a private dinner on the hotel's helipad (seriously). But be sure to save some money for Internet access, since it’s not free here.
Renowned architect Cesar Pelli -- whose credits include the Petronas Towers in Malaysia and the World Financial Center in Manhattan -- designed this 492-foot luxe hotel, which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Plaza of Diana and the city's first panoramic indoor pool. But hotel officials say that the 189-room tower will retain some local flavor:
Many of the materials used by Yabu Pushelberg in the hotel’s design have been crafted locally by traditional Mexican artists, including the lavish onyx mosaics adorning each bathroom and laser-cut silver screens in the hotel’s lobby. In addition, each guestroom includes a 42-inch LCD television with DVD player, a state-of-the-art sound system, an MP3 docking station, and an innovative LCD television recessed behind the bathroom mirror, enabling images to be projected onto a screenless surface.
But don’t go looking for authentic eats and some margaritas in the hotel’s Diana Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean cuisine, or the on-site J&G Steakhouse. There’s a 24-hour cantina in the hotel, but you’d be better off elsewhere to get the real deal.
