Photograph by David Coleman. The Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico, an architectural jewel in the heart of Mexico City's historic center, stands as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and architectural grandeur. Originally constructed in 1899 as a department store, the building was converted into a luxury hotel in 1968. The hotel's most striking feature is its ornate main foyer, dominated by a spectacular Tiffany stained glass ceiling, believed to be the largest of its kind in Latin America. This Art Nouveau masterpiece, designed by Jacques Gruber, bathes the interior in a warm, golden light, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The foyer's intricate wrought-iron elevators, designed by the Compañía Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey, further exemplify the Belle Époque style that characterizes the building. Marble staircases and detailed tile work complement the overall aesthetic, while the balconies offer views of the bustling Zocalo, Mexico City's main square. The hotel's prime location on a corner of the Zocalo places it at the heart of Mexico City's historic and cultural life, surrounded by significant landmarks such as the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. The Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico not only serves as a luxury accommodation but also as a living museum of architectural history, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulence of turn-of-the-century Mexico City.
