In a joint press conference today in Mexico City, Global Hyatt
Corporation and GICSA announced the latest addition to the prestigious
Park Hyatt portfolio, Park Hyatt Mexico City - Reforma. Located within
the impressive Capital Reforma development, a new multi-purpose
complex comprised of offices, high-end luxury Park Hyatt Residences
and exclusive retail shops, Park Hyatt Mexico City is slated to open
in late 2009.
With 150 luxury guest rooms and suites, the hotel will feature
modern architectural design combined with rich residential interiors,
two creative restaurant concepts, a lounge and elegant bar - all
designed to appeal to both hotel guests and local residents. Banquet
and meeting options will include a variety of flexible spaces,
incorporating natural light and space into the design. In addition,
the hotel will serve as a modern urban retreat, featuring a luxurious
two-floor spa and convenient, exclusive access to the complex's
heliport.
"We are delighted to be returning to the exciting city of Mexico
after an absence of more than 20 years," remarked Myles McGourty,
Hyatt's area vice president, Latin America. "We are particularly proud
to be associated with GICSA and this important development, Capital
Reforma, in the heart of this fast-growing financial and residential
center of Mexico City."
"Park Hyatt Mexico City - Reforma is important to Hyatt as it is
the first in a series of new developments that we are planning to add
to our Mexican portfolio over the next few years in both resort and
city locations," he added.

important recognition of the high caliber of work that GICSA and our
partners have accomplished on this development," commented Guillermo
