IHG Launches Its First voco Hotels Property in Mexico

The voco Guadalajara Neruda, the first hotel for the developing brand in Mexico, is where IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s top hotel groups with more than 6,000 destinations and 18 brands, celebrates the introduction of the voco brand in Latin America.

Voco Hotels, which was established in 2018, offer the quality and assurance of a well-known international brand while preserving the unique local character and history of an independent hotel. The name of the high-end brand, voco, which is Latin for “to call together,” captures the thoughtful, informal, and endearing vibe of the company.

The new 104-room Voco Guadalajara Neruda, owned by Grupo Hotelero Luna Azul and run by Monby Hotels, is conveniently situated on Pablo Neruda Avenue in the heart of Guadalajara’s financial district and only a short drive from the Golf Country Club, the Colomos Woods, Downton Zapopan, Andador Neruda, and shopping centers like Midtown Jalisco or Plaza Andares. By blending Mexican décor that captures the actual essence of Jalisco through its color palettes, fabrics, and usage of adobe, clay, and ceramics, the hotel’s modern and fashionable design gives off a global vibe.

The on-site restaurant “Querida Luna” honors mestizo cuisine with a diverse menu fusing flavors from all across the nation as well as unique drinks and handmade cocktails produced from in-house made infusions. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The building’s Perla Azul, an open-air roof-top bar perfect for a private soiree, cocktails, a light lunch, dinner, or events, is the building’s crowning feature. House specials can be enjoyed with a breathtaking view from its terraces overlooking the city. This design is shared by all rooms, which feature an open balcony that fills them with beautiful warm natural lighting.

Voco Hotels is expanding its presence with an additional 56 hotels planned for the future and 10 new openings in 2022*, bringing its total global openings to 45 hotels. More exciting expansion is anticipated in 2023. The brand makes its Latin American debut with voco Guadalajara Neruda, although new construction is also being done in Saltillo and Queretaro.
