A vintage ashtray from Hotel Regis , which was located at
Avenida Juarez 77, Mexico City
. Some Hotel Regis History. The Hotel Regis occupied part of the grounds that originally belonged to the Convent of San Diego. The fine Avenida Juares on which the magnificent hotel stood, with its attractive façade, was cut through the ancient courtyards and gardens of the barefooted Friars of New Spain. A number of small residences were erected on this thoroughfare, and these were in turn removed for the office of the newspaper "El Imparcial." The latter building later was transformed into an office building and apartment house and lastly into a
small hotel. Acquiring adjoining properties a few years ago [circa 1920], the owners of the Hotel Regis erected a thoroughly modern and magnificent hostelry with 300 rooms and 300 baths. The dining room was named "Salon Don Quixote," its decor picturing incidents in the life of Cervantes' delightful hero. It had a grill room, European and American kitchen, swimming pool, valet service, laundry, and a theatre
seating 1,200 persons. The Maya Room is one of the
unique features of the resort. It reproduced in a striking way the carvings and art of the ancient Mexicans. The Regis Hotel also maintained its own taxicab service, a feature unique to Mexico. It was reported to have a secret casino in the basement and it was the most fabulous hotel in the city.
Unfortunately the Hotel Regis collapsed during the 1985 earthquakes.  In its place is Solidarity Park where people remember the victims of the earthquakes.
