Polanco
 Polanco is a dinamic neighbourhood located
just in front of the Chapultepec Park. Here you can find the finest hotels,
restaurants and most fashionable shops in Mexico.
The area emerged during the fourties, adopting Californian Style and later
started to be packed with tall aparments. Due to its strategic location,
Polanco has turned into a prefered business area. At night, the pleasent
atmosphere of its steets become a hub of new clubs with a rather international
mood.
An Eclectic style imported from California spread
throughout the neighbourhood during the forties filling facades
with its barroque applications. Front yards started to adorn these
houses now transformed into boutiques.
The XVII Century Hacienda de los Morales followed this example,
offering now excellent cousine and relaxed atmosphere.
 Polanco was an attractive area
for jewish and lebanese settlers and after some time corporations, embassies,
great hotels and new restaurants followed
them.
Now you can visit the David Alfaro Siquerios Museum (Tres Picos No.29)
or the curiouw Juan Pablos Graphic arts museum (Galileo 101). Nearby you
will find superb museums such as Rufino Tamayo, Anthropology,
Arte Moderno and "Papalote" Childrens museum.
Along Emilio Castelar, you can relax at the Lincon Park, but the most
exciting street is no doubt Presidente Masarik, where delicatessen, nightclubs
and exclusive boutiques live hand by hand.
 Polanco is also a showcase of contemporary office buildings
and hotels.
