Alexander Hotel, a new boutique hotel in Mexico City’s iconic Torre Virreyes skyscraper, is now open.

Positioned in the heart of the city’s financial hub, the five-star hotel features 26 suites with state-of-the-art technology alongside a range of luxury amenities, including a spa, restaurant, a complete Technogym, a premium concierge, and a Caviar Bar, which is the first of its kind in Mexico.

Situated in the prestigious Lomas de Chapultepec, it’s the only hotel in this exclusive area of Mexico City.

“In opening Alexander Hotel, we offer a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility in the heart of Mexico City. Our commitment to providing an elite guest experience is reflected in every detail, from our exquisite suites to our innovative dining options,” said Alejandro Gallegos, the property’s general manager. “We are thrilled to welcome guests to discover the modern elegance and timeless sophistication that defines our hotel. Alexander Hotel is The Place to Be.”

Daniel Álvarez, the architect of Alexander Hotel, designed a space that elevates everyday life. The hotel features high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, fine wood, rare marble, and meticulously crafted Italian furniture. Álvarez’s use of timeless materials, including marble calcite blue, ebony wood, and leather, creates a modern and sophisticated aesthetic.

Ambia Studio Interior Design collaborated on the hotel’s design to create a warm and harmonious environment that makes guests feel at home. The designers incorporated Mexican elements inspired by earthy colors, with blue tones to evoke a cozy atmosphere. Soft fabrics, rugs, and natural woods add warmth and comfort, inviting guests to relax and enjoy their stay.

Each of Alexander Hotel’s 26 suites complements the ambiance of Lomas de Virreyes with its Poltrona Frau furniture. Minotti tables, Rimadesio closets, and Amini rugs all come from Italy. Madison Collection towels, 600-count sheets, and down feather duvets are also included. Other amenities include personalized Byredo bath amenities, Matouk cotton bath robes, and a curated collection of luxury tableware and glassware, including handmade Vista Alegre from Portugal, Noritake, Villeroy & Boch, and Reidel crystal.

Alexander Hotel’s Caviar Bar serves Petrossian caviar varieties and a curated selection of signature cocktails. The restaurant features Italian decor and the culinary expertise of Executive Chef Ana Sophia Serrano. Known for her cuisine crafted from fresh, seasonal produce, Chef Serrano has curated a menu that includes Beluga, Osetra, and Daurenki caviar with signature dishes including homemade Truffle Tagliolini and Wagyu Filet.

Complementing the culinary offerings, The Caviar Bar’s mixology program, led by head bartender and mixologist Jonathan Botello Garcini, includes signature cocktails like the Alexander Martini, which is crafted with Belvedere 10 Vodka—exclusively available at Alexander Hotel—and served with a Kumamoto Oyster topped with Baeri Caviar.
