A Day at Kimpton Virgilio

Morning

Wake to the scent of fresh espresso and pan dulce; jog the shaded paths of Bosque de Chapultepec, where the lake mirrors the sky.

Afternoon

Browse Avenida Presidente Masaryk’s boutiques, then retreat to the hotel for a mezcal-lime agua fresca and a chapter in the courtyard’s dappled shade.

Evening

Golden hour over Polanco’s townhouses; dress for dinner at a chef-driven spot nearby—blue corn tortillas, citrus-bright ceviches, and smoky moles.

Night

Nightcap at the bar (try a raicilla riff on a martini), soft vinyl crackle, and the city’s hum fading to hush outside your window.
