The property is located near Auditorio Nacional, Chapultepec Castle, the Archaeological Museum, and Avenida Masaryk, in the heart of Lincoln Park and occupies the Roel Building, a 1940s architectural landmark designed by architect Francisco J. Serrano during the Mexican Art Nouveau period.

Interiors features original Mexican art, handwoven rugs and using materials such as terracotta, metals, and natural stones, with wood floors and cement tiles patterned in style reminiscent of traditional Mexican ceramics.

The boutique hotel features 34 stylish and comfortable rooms decorated with warm stone and terracotta include bespoke furniture and décor sourced in Mexico, original art pieces from local artists, and most rooms offer a soaking tub.

Guests at the hotel receive free daily morning coffee and premium teas (“Kickstart”), as well as nightly complimentary beer, wine, and chef prepared bites in the “Social Hour” in the lobby.

The launch of Kimpton El Castelar follows the opening of Kimpton Virgilio, which opened in 2024 in Polanco, in the Mexican capital. Both properties are located in historically preserved apartment buildings. Kimpton’s portfolio currently includes 87 hotels open worldwide and 67 hotels in its pipeline.
