HISTORY

In the 1930s, the area that Polanco currently occupies corresponded to the land belonging to the Hacienda de los Morales, Polanco was the divided around to what is now Parque Lincoln, and from the beginning it received upper-middle class families who wanted to go out of the centerof the city, as well as to specific communities, including Jewish, Spanish and German.

LOCATION AND MOBILITY

For many, Polanco is the best located neighborhood in the capital. Being located between the most central neighborhoods such as Roma, Condesa and San Miguel Chapultepec, and the beginning of the Defeño suburb, which opens with Lomas de Chapultepec, places it in an unbeatable position. In addition, it is next to the Bosque de Chapultepec, the main green area of the city.

CURRENTLY

In no neighborhood of the city will you find such an offer of restaurants, bars, shops and other establishments as in Polanco. Added to this are art galleries, museums and bookstores. In addition, this neighborhood has become an important business center and several of the best hotels in Mexico City are located here.

All of the above makes this neighborhood one of the most dynamic in the city.

The great movement that is registered in Polanco is balanced by a good number of parks and green areas, as well as particularly pleasant areas for walking: an enviable combination.
