Hyatt Regency Mexico City, Hotel building in Polanco district, Mexico City.
The Hyatt Regency Mexico City is a 142-metre tower at Campos Elíseos 204 in Polanco, with 43 floors and 756 rooms. Built of reinforced concrete and glass, it has ten lifts, five of them running at 6.1 metres per second. Its structure includes 20 seismic dampers and 67 concrete piles driven 35 metres deep.
Construction began in 1985 but was halted by the magnitude 8.1 earthquake that struck Mexico City that year. Work resumed in October 1986 and finished in 1987, when the tower opened as the Hotel Nikko México, then the city's fourth-tallest building. In May 2012 the property changed management and began operating as the Hyatt Regency México City.
The building opened in 1987 as Hotel Nikko México and was renamed Hyatt Regency in May 2012. In 1991 the pop group Magneto filmed the music video for "Vuela, vuela" here, a detail tied to the property's history in Mexican pop culture.
The hotel sits in a central location with good access to public transportation and major roads connecting to attractions and shopping areas. The Polanco neighborhood provides walkable access to restaurants and shops nearby.
Upper-floor rooms and restaurants offer views of Chapultepec Park and Mexico City's skyline. This perspective reveals green spaces amid the urban surroundings.
