Rooftop Terrace: where the investment fund CEO stays until sunset and where the international guest takes home the pashmina with the embroidered isotype
The Rooftop Terrace in CDMX is the outdoor space where Mexican companies with high-level hospitality, multilatinas with a public relations agenda and subsidiaries of multinationals with US or European parents host their sunset corporate cocktails, the executive receptions with institutional investors, the seasonal launches with specialised press, the closing dinners of congresses and the appreciation parties for premium clients. The capacity of the Rooftop Terrace runs from 60 to 120 guests in cocktail format with bar stations, 80 in gala dinner format with round tables of eight, 180 in standing cocktail format with canape service. The Rooftop Terrace holds lounge furniture (sofas, low tables, poufs), dimmable warm lighting, ambient audio system with attenuation not to disturb neighbours, exterior heating with infrared lamps or patio heaters, retractable awning for light rain, back-of-house with service bar, auxiliary kitchen and climate-controlled wine cellar. We coordinate four merch packages for outdoor receptions and cocktails.

The Rooftop Terrace operates with one main guest entrance and one service entrance through the tower freight elevator or the lower-floor corridor. Merch delivery is made with prior identification of operations staff and logbook signature, generally in a 14:00 to 17:00 window before the Rooftop Terrace setup, with protection of the material from rain and sun. For receptions with gala dinner, we coordinate with the corporate protocol area and the sommelier for delivery of the wine at the guest table before the first service.
For receptions with institutional investor presence, we follow the Securities Market Law protocol when the reception includes disclosure of relevant information, with reserved pieces and signature of confidentiality agreement. For receptions with public officials or diplomatic corps, we follow the security protocol of the Policia Bancaria e Industrial when applicable and of the Coordinacion General de Protocolo of the Federal Government when it is an official reception.
For receptions with adverse weather (rain, wind, cold), we coordinate with the Rooftop Terrace operations area to protect the merch from moisture with plastic wrapping and with shelter in the climate-controlled cellar during the climate change. The merch chain of custody is documented with signature, time and where the corporate protocol allows, discreet photography at each control point: entry to the freight elevator, inspection by the Rooftop Terrace operations staff, transfer to the climate-controlled cellar, restocking during the event, post-event collection.
Rooftop Terrace compliance, restrictions and weather
The Rooftop Terrace operates with outdoor rules that the merch must respect: no merch with flammable elements (candles, lighters, pyrotechnics), no merch with materials that deteriorate with humidity (unlaminated paper, untreated textiles), no pets, no merch with unauthorised third-party logos. For receptions with adverse weather, we follow the Rooftop Terrace protocol by switching to laminated or synthetic versions of the merch that withstand rain and humidity.
For receptions with international touring artists, we coordinate with the manager and customs regime when the artist merch crosses the border as part of the hospitality kit, with USMCA compliance and foreign trade complement. For receptions with live broadcast (social media, press coverage), we follow the corporate brand manual and the broadcast protocol with visible pieces and pieces reserved for official photography.
For SAT invoicing, we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA breakdown and supporting documentation for deduction as Public Relations, Marketing or Corporate Hospitality expense, depending on the merch use. For corporates with active IMMEX registration, we provide complementary invoicing in USD with IMMEX Decree compliance. For multilatinas with US operations, we provide complementary invoicing in USD with USMCA compliance when the international guest kit crosses the border.
