Corporate Merch for Events at Hotel Presidente InterContinental CDMX
Hotel Presidente InterContinental is the flagship of IHG Hotels & Resorts on Campos Elíseos in Polanco, walking distance from the Museo Nacional de Antropología, the Bosque de Chapultepec and the Masaryk retail corridor. The hotel hosts corporate retreats, US-parent executive meetings, embassy receptions and the year-round calendar of mid-sized incentive groups. We produce merch for hotel guests, sponsor activations and corporate-event attendees.
About the hotel
Hotel Presidente InterContinental sits at Campos Elíseos 218, Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo borough, 25 minutes from Mexico City International Airport (IATA: MEX) and 10 minutes from the Centro Histórico. The hotel opened in 1977 as one of the original InterContinental expansion properties in Latin America and underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2018. The complex combines 660 guest rooms (including 95 suites) with the Emperador convention centre (approximately 3,200 square metres of meeting space), the Au Pied de Cochon French brasserie, the Café Urbano lobby bar and the roof-top pool deck overlooking Polanco.
The hotel's location in Polanco places it at the centre of the high-end corporate-event market. The Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec neighbourhoods concentrate the headquarters of most multinational companies operating in Mexico, the embassy district for the major European and Latin American countries, the Mexican Senate's alternative meeting venues and the Zona Rosa cultural corridor. The annual hotel-event calendar includes corporate retreats for European and US-parent companies, embassy and cultural-association receptions, US- and European-government trade-mission events, and the incentive groups that combine Mexico City business meetings with tourism to Teotihuacán, Coyoacán and the Basílica de Guadalupe.

Logistics for the hotel
Delivery to Hotel Presidente InterContinental runs through the loading dock on Anatole France, 20 minutes from the Estado de México industrial corridor. For corporate retreats and embassy receptions delivery is scheduled 24 to 48 hours before the event to avoid the setup queue. The load is received on the loading dock with forklift, documented with delivery note and handed to the event coordinator with signature. For hotel-managed activations, delivery is scheduled at the loading dock with schedule coordinated with the hotel's event-services team.
For hotel-room drops we coordinate the room-by-room delivery with the hotel's housekeeping team. The room drops are typically scheduled for the morning of the guest arrival and assembled per-room with the personalised gift card, the welcome letter and the contents in a rigid gift box or custom-branded mailer box. For high-volume runs (200+ rooms) we coordinate a staged delivery window over multiple days to manage the housekeeping contact load.
Invoicing is issued under CFDI 4.0 with IVA 16% breakdown at SAT before delivery, and the payment complement (complemento de pagos) is generated when you settle via SPEI or bank transfer. For US-parent procurement teams we provide USD billing in MXN-equivalent terms with the USMCA preference-criterion statement on qualifying cross-border drops. For European procurement teams we coordinate with the European-parent's freight forwarder for the consolidated air-freight drop.
