A luxury tower with a Pelli spine—Mexico City’s vertical elegance with a seismic edge.
Skyscrapers in Mexico City.
Visitor Guide
Look up at the corner: the tower’s geometry is about how it handles the city’s seismic reality; then step inside the lobby for the material shift.
Best from Paseo de la Reforma median, late afternoon; night shots capture the tower’s lighting.
Hotel: public access to lobby/bar areas; rooms and some amenities are guest-only; no ticket just to enter.
The tower’s composure hides serious seismic engineering—look for how the structure expresses stiffness without bulk.

Design & Structure
High-rise hotel design with performance-driven structural system for seismic loads; facade and massing iterated for views and urban presence.
Glass + stone/metal interiors; materiality emphasizes a crisp, international modernism against the city’s texture.
Engineering highlight is seismic-resistant structural strategy (core + perimeter) tuned for Mexico City’s soil conditions.
