The Grand Opening of IHG Ignite 2023 at the Presidente Intercontinental Polanco

Offering a variety of lodging alternatives that meet the needs and standards according to the demographics of each guest is undoubtedly a challenge, however, the IHG group of hotels and resorts for 20 years decided to take the bull by the horns and, throughout this time they have become one of the most predominant hotel groups globally.

 

"Being Mexico City the selected destination, we pulled out all the stops to exceed the expectations of the IHG group and prepared a menu of surprises over 4 events that would leave everyone wishing they could stay longer in the destination".

That is why our team could not be more than ecstatic to become accomplices of the project that IHG had in mind, to celebrate the IHG Ignite 2023 convention that would be held for the first time in Latin America under the vision of Marcos Santiago, Global Director of B2B Tradeshows + Events in this important corporate hotel group. We knew it would be a challenge, but being Mexico City the selected destination, we pulled out all the stops to exceed the expectations of the IHG group and prepared a menu of surprises over 4 events that would leave everyone wishing they could stay longer in the destination.

"By teaming up with the Presidente Intercontinental Hotel, host hotel for the convention participants, we achieved a fascinating evening".

By teaming up with the Presidente Intercontinental Hotel, host hotel for the convention participants, we achieved a fascinating evening; along the terrace located on Andres Bello Street, 6 stands set up for each of the restaurants located in the hotel and a whole gastronomic experience throughout the night. From a traditional sushi bar at TOKOYA, the delicious dishes of Chef Mauro Chiecchio at ALFREDO DI ROMA, the French star cuisine of AU PIED DE COCHON, premium cuts of meat at THE PALM, a little corner of Mexico at CHAPULIN and varied food with a Mexican touch by "CAFÉ URBANO". Each of the restaurants had the opportunity to offer their best dishes in small portions and enrapture the attendees with their exquisite flavors.

In addition, there were 2 bars of the Epicentro bar that today is responsible for making the lobby of Presidente Intercontinental one of the most chic and attractive in the area, and while enjoying cocktails at each end of the terrace... a group of incredible magicians performed acts of divination and apparition of objects around the tables, astonishing those who witnessed them. And of course, the dancing and music was not long in coming, a beautiful flamenco dancer and a guitarist animated the crowd as they circulated among the attendees, something that cheered the energy so much that some were even encouraged to chant the songs or sway to the sound of the Iberian rhythm that contrasted the night through happenings.

The night went by, and new friendships and bonds were formed among exquisite appetizers and diverse music; without realizing it, we were spectators of the beginning of a journey that would force us to overcome our limits. Mexico City was undoubtedly the ideal destination and throughout these chronicles you will witness how high this city can reach when hosting programs of international importance.
