Grupo Brisas inaugurates Galería Plaza León, its second hotel in the state of Guanajuato and its 12^th in Mexico. The 700-million-peso investment solidifies its position as a leading tourism consortium, offering unparalleled comfort, cutting-edge technology, and top-tier services.

At the inauguration ceremony for the new 176-room property on Manuel J. Clouthier Boulevard, near Leon's financial center and main attractions, Antonio Cosío Pando, Grupo Brisas CEO, reaffirmed the company's commitment to Guanajuato. This involves more investment, jobs and tourism for Mexicans, with a focus on promoting investment, job creation and boosting tourism.

"We are dedicated to continued investment in Mexico to drive economic growth, create jobs and create new tourism experiences that showcase the warm hospitality of the Mexican people," said Mr. Cosío Pando when addressing state and municipal authorities, as well as representatives of the state's business sector.

Over the past 24 years, the proudly Mexican Grupo Brisas has successfully expanded its operations to nine states across the country, with its three leading brands: NIZUC Resort & Spa, Las Brisas, and Galería Plaza, which collectively represent 12 hotels in major cities and beach destinations across the country, with a total of over 3,300 rooms in operation.

Grupo Brisas has two properties in Guanajuato, offering a combined total of over 300 rooms. The recently opened Galería Plaza León features 176 modern and elegant rooms, while the Galería Plaza Irapuato, which opened in October 2018, boasts 138 rooms.

Mr. Cosío Pando made note of the economic benefits of the new hotel, including the creation of approximately 1,000 direct and indirect jobs during construction and more than 100 jobs during operation. Additionally, 40% of suppliers are based in León and surrounding areas, supporting local economic growth.

Galería Plaza León is a hotel development that provides Mexican residents and international visitors with an unparalleled experience of the El Bajío region. The modern and welcoming spaces are ideal for business trips, social events, and conventions. The design goal was to create a comfortable environment with a range of entertainment options.

The hotel's amenities and facilities include a highly rated culinary experience, a stunning rooftop garden with a sky bar, swimming pools, a fitness center, and relaxation areas with breathtaking views. For business travelers, the hotel includes a modern business center and an 870 m² event room that accommodates up to 700 attendees, ideal for banquets and conventions.

Furthermore, the hotel stands out with its cutting-edge technology, exemplified by Brisas Connectivity. This digital platform lets guests control a range of functions from their mobile device, including room access, climate control, lighting, television, and room service.

Galería Plaza currently operates in many locations, including Mexico City (Reforma and San Jerónimo), Veracruz, Irapuato, Monterrey, and León. All properties are affiliated with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, which ensures the highest standards in quality, facilities, and customer experience.
