Former Hotel Bamer now houses 98 apartments near Bellas Artes
Carso Alameda is a residential complex at Avenida Juárez 52 in central Mexico City, across from Alameda Central and near the Palace of Fine Arts.
It has 98 homes, according to information from Inmuebles Carso, a company linked to Carlos Slim.
The building also contains branches of Sanborns and Inbursa, businesses associated with the Slim group.
The site was once the Hotel Bamer, which opened in 1953 and included a jazz and piano club on its upper floors.
After the hotel closed and the building was abandoned, it was converted into apartments between 2012 and 2014.
The change was part of efforts linked to Slim’s property projects to bring housing back to the historic centre.
The complex’s connection to Slim’s business group does not establish that he owns all 98 apartments; the article notes that ownership of the building and of individual homes are separate questions.
