I completely understand wanting to explore a new destination in another country on your own, it gives you a real sense of adventure and accomplishment. On the other hand, sometimes you just want someone else to hold your hand (so to speak) and guide you around the city so you don’t even have to open Google maps. And the St. Regis Mexico City totally gets this desire.
On Monday, the five-star property announced their Personal Shopping Experience as a part of their signature Cultural Curator service that debuted last year. The new amenity offers guests a chance to work with an exclusive shopping concierge or discover the city’s best boutique shops with a curated shopping tour.
Guests can schedule an appointment with Marco Corral, an expert stylist, who will discuss their clothing preferences and sizes before stepping out to find the best looks for each client. Corral has worked with top fashion brands and has been recognized for his work in publications such as Travel + Leisure, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Vogue México and Marie Claire. He has also consulted for celebrities including Eva Longoria, Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Lucero, Paulina Rubio and Ana de la Reguera, among others.
Within 24-hours of your consultation, Corral will return with designer labels such as John Varvatos, Louis Vuitton Emporio Armani, Guiseppe Zanotti, Carolina Herrera and Tory Burch, along with trend-setting styles from Mexican designers. In the privacy of your suite, you’ll get to try on the selections which will also include accessories, handbags, shoes and jewelry. If you want to purchase any of the items, you can do so with your stylist. Or, if you’d rather participate in the shopping, Corral can visit each boutique with you to provide help and experienced advice on styles and what’s up-and-coming.
The St. Regis Mexico City’s Cultural Curator service also allows guests to arrange private tours at various landmarks and museums. The concierges, who have been recognized with Les Clefs d’Or, can also secure exclusive invitations to special events and openings.
