Savoring Kimpton Virgilio: A Culinary Journey Awaits

If you love unique dining experiences, you have to try Kimpton Virgilio's new menu. Trust me, it’s an adventure for your taste buds!

A Luxurious Escape in Polanco

When you think of hotel stays, what comes to mind? For me, it’s not just a cozy bed and a shower; it’s about the entire experience. That’s why I was thrilled to learn about Kimpton Virgilio’s first anniversary celebration in Polanco, Mexico City. This boutique hotel is redefining luxury with its warm hospitality and innovative dining options.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt transported. The historical building that once sheltered refugees during WWII has been beautifully transformed into a haven of modern elegance. With 48 unique rooms designed by Interior Architecture Studio, every corner tells a story. But the real gem? The culinary offerings that await at their flagship restaurant, Pepe Mesa Española.

Gastronomic Delights at Pepe Mesa Española

I recently had the chance to dive into the new menu crafted by Executive Chef Carlos Soto. Let me tell you—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss! The short rib dish blew me away; it was slow-cooked to perfection and paired with a creamy potato purée that had just the right amount of kick from its robust flavors. Not only does it showcase the chef’s skill but also highlights his commitment to using local ingredients.

And if you’re a fan of paella like I am, wait until you try the socarrat mixto! The crispy base combined with fresh seafood—mussels, shrimp, and that touch of roasted lemon—creates a symphony of flavors that dances on your palate.

Embracing Diversity and Inclusion

What truly sets Kimpton Virgilio apart is its dedication to diversity and inclusion. The hotel proudly received the Queer Destinations Committed certification. It’s refreshing to see such values embraced in hospitality today! This commitment enriches the atmosphere and ensures that everyone feels welcome.

Erick Vargas, General Manager of Kimpton Virgilio, expressed this beautifully: "Our first anniversary is not just a celebration of our achievements but also an opportunity to continue evolving as a leader in hospitality." This philosophy is evident in every interaction with staff—genuine care shines through.

Indulge and Unwind: Special Anniversary Offers

To mark this special occasion, Kimpton Virgilio has launched an enticing offer: book two nights in their luxurious King room and get a third night free! Plus, enjoy a generous 30% discount on food and beverages throughout your stay until May 30th, 2025. What better way to treat yourself?

I recommend reserving some time at La Caña—a delightful bar on the terrace where fresh Mexican cocktails await. Picture yourself sipping on a refreshing drink while soaking in the warm sun—pure bliss!
