Palm Restaurant
The Presidente Inter-Continental Mxico City is the only location in Mxico where you can sample the splendid cuisine of this famous restaurant company that all but invented the American steak house.

The Palm offers its visitors the best prime beef cuts, US style, plus its exclusive Nova Scotia lobster.

Good experience.

The Intercontinental Presidente Mexico City is ideally located in Polanco. I had a room on the 22nd floor with a lovely view of the National Stadium and adjacent parks. The room was very comfortable and met my expectations. The architectural style of the hotel is iconic and expansive. It has plenty of fine dining options as well. I do recommend this hotel especially to the business traveler, and this seems to be the target guest for this particular hotel. There are a lot of business suits in this hotel, and the staff is quite formal and polite, though a touch too coldly detached for my taste.If you are looking for something more hip, or more boutique-style, there are other excellent options in Mexico City in both Polanco and La Condesa. I should also mention that I found such an exceptional price offer [...]that I could not say no, even though this is not my typical style of hotel.

very pleased with El Presidente

very professional staff. spacious room with king bed and beautiful view of the city from the 25th floor. The bed, sheets, comforter were very comfortable and I had great sleep. Bathroom is clean. The lobby is elegant and grand. There's live music at night sung by two beautiful singers. Two upscale restaurants - Zhen and the Palms. good breakfast buffet although a bit expensive at 300 pesos. Well equipped business centers with Internet and printers. My only complaint is no internet in the room.

It was great service and I had a great time at the Inter Presidente. The only inconvinience was at the time of checking out because it was so early in the morning (4:00 am) due to an early trip back to Miami, the front desk did not have ready my invoice because they were running the system and until today Monday December 6th, I am still waiting for the invoice. I call them a few minutes ago and they confirmed that they will be sending the invoice today. Besides this issue, it was a very pleasent my staying at the Inter Presidente.
