VIP Room B: the room where an industrial group's owner dines with a strategic supplier's chair, and the merch is delivered under the table
VIP Room B is the second of three VIP rooms at the five-star hotel complex in Polanco: 18 covers on the round table or 12 on individual tables, side-garden view, sommelier-curated cellar, private entrance with double security, capacity for a four-course menu paired by the hotel's sous chef. This is where key-client hospitality dinners run (typically the top 10 by revenue), where strategic-supplier dinners run (when a master-contract renegotiation is in play), where regulatory-authority dinners run (when a file is open), where allied-family dinners run (when a JV is on the table), and where family-office one-to-one dinners with international advisors run. What defines VIP Room B is not the menu (which is more intimate), but the discretion. Here, merch is delivered without the guest ever knowing who sent it or who paid for it.

VIP Room B runs on the same service entrance as VIP Room A: the hotel complex's service entry, which accepts a 3.5-ton box truck on a restricted schedule (usually 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00). The pedestrian service entrance requires pre-registered ID, hotel badge, and logbook signature. The hotel's ops staff hand off POP material and guest kits with visible ID and badge. The back-of-house of VIP Room B has a single zone: the protocol room, where the merch sits in sealed corporate-stamped boxes. VIP Room B has no kitchen visible to guests: the hotel's chef sends plates from the central kitchen through a service corridor, and table service is coordinated with the hotel's maître d'.
For dinners attended by international suppliers (typically from the US, Europe, or Asia), we handle USD invoicing at the Banco de México FIX rate from the day before, with USMCA compliance and supporting documentation for deductibility as Corporate Governance or Public Relations. For dinners attended by regulatory authorities or public officials, we handle compliance with the hotel security protocol and the Policía Bancaria e Industrial when applicable. The custody chain is documented with signature, time, and photo at every control point: service-entry ingress, hotel-ops inspection, transit to protocol room, intermission restock, post-dinner pickup.
For corporates with IMMEX operations, we issue complementary SAT CFDI 4.0 invoicing with the 16% IVA breakdown and supporting documentation for deductibility as Public Relations or Corporate Governance. For family offices, we invoice under the business-activities regime with income from participation in other companies. For industrial groups with US operations, we issue bilingual (es/en) invoicing with USMCA compliance when the guest kit crosses the border as part of the hospitality kit for the foreign-resident supplier.
Confidentiality, VIP Room B compliance, and prohibitions
VIP Room B has operating rules that the merch must respect: no mobile phones in the room during the nightcap, no merch with elements that produce noise or distraction, no backpacks or large bags in the room, no POP material with third-party logos (a frequent request from corporates), no food or drinks outside the hotel's catering service. For sessions requiring limited-edition merch (numbered JV-anniversary tee, signed book from the invited author, coaster with the dinner year), we coordinate with the hotel's ops team so the piece satisfies the security protocol, the confidentiality protocol, and the transmission protocol (when the dinner is internal and not recorded).
For sessions with media coverage (post-dinner press conference, quarterly results reveal, annual strategy launch), we handle compliance with the corporate and the hotel press protocols, with pieces that carry no third-party logos or are digitally masked when the corporate manual requires it. For sessions with internal transmission to the group's plants (Bajío-, Monterrey-, or Saltillo-transmitted dinners), we handle compliance with the corporate transmission protocol, with pieces visible on screen and pieces concealed from the transmission. For dinners live-streamed abroad (videocall with investors in London, NY, or Frankfurt), we handle time-zone compliance and shipping of pieces to the international houses two weeks in advance.
For SAT invoicing, we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and supporting documentation for deductibility as Public Relations, Corporate Governance, or Hospitality, depending on how the merch is used. For corporates with IMMEX or US operations, we issue complementary USD or EUR invoicing with USMCA compliance support when the merch crosses the border as part of the hospitality kit. The merch ships with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign-trade complement when applicable, and with the payments complement when the corporate pays in instalments. Delivery to the protocol room is documented with an entry slip signed by the hotel's head of operations and the corporate's logistics lead.
MOQ, costs, and VIP Room B reservations
Hospitality guest kit — from MXN $5,250 before VAT per piece on an 8-run. Maître d' merch — from MXN $4,250 before VAT per person on a 4-run. Strategic supplier recognition — from MXN $12,800 before VAT per piece on a 2-run. Protocol merch — from MXN $3,250 before VAT per person on a 6-run. The costs do not include the VIP Room B rental, which is quoted directly by the hotel's events team depending on day, schedule, menu (usually 4 courses), wine pairing (sommelier selections), and add-on services (cellar, table service, maître d', AV equipment).
For dinners on high-demand dates (strategic-supplier-renegotiation dinners, regulatory-authority dinners, JV-close dinners), we calendar-block with 60 days' notice and a firm written commitment. For dinners on low-demand dates, we block with 30 days' notice. Express production under 18 days incurs a +35% curation and dispatch surcharge. The reservation is made with a 14-point brief: dinner date, dinner type, guest count, pieces per package, corporate brand manual, corporate color palette, hotel confidentiality protocol, transmission compliance, load-in logistics, post-dinner donation, and SAT invoicing.
VIP Room B frequently asked questions
Can you deliver the guest kit with packaging that hides the corporate identity?
Yes — we deliver the kit in a neutral box or a leather case with a discreet isotype, with no exterior brand marks. The custody chain is documented with the protocol lead's signature and held in a sealed envelope for the full dinner, returned at the close of the nightcap. For dinners where delivery happens at the end (after dessert), we coordinate with the maître d' so the piece arrives in a sealed envelope at the driver's.
Can you handle the merch for dinners that recur with the same supplier?
Yes — we run quarterly or semi-annual programming with the same brand manual, scaling the run to match the dinner agenda and special guests (international suppliers, regulatory authorities, external auditors). Coordination with the institutional-relations directorate for the editorial curation of the hospitality guest kit.
Can you invoice the merch as a hospitality expense without revealing the recipient?
Yes — we issue CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with the 16% IVA breakdown and supporting documentation for deductibility as Hospitality, Public Relations, or Corporate Governance, depending on how the merch is used. For corporates with IMMEX operations, we issue complementary USD invoicing with the foreign-trade complement and USMCA compliance.
