Businessman. Mario Castelán Meza was a Mexican businessman known for his ownership of the renowned Hotel Regis, following its sale by its founder, Rodolfo Montes. Mario played a pivotal role in upholding the hotel's prestige and enhancing its offerings during his ownership. One of Mario's notable contributions was the establishment of a fleet of 18 rental cars, all painted in vibrant red and yellow colors. These cars primarily served the hotel's guests but were also available to the general public. This innovative move significantly increased the hotel's appeal and convenience for visitors. Additionally, Mario expanded the hotel by adding a considerable number of rooms, further accommodating guests. Another notable addition made under Mario's ownership was the creation of a movie theater within the hotel premises. This initiative solidified the Hotel Regis as a pioneer in providing entertainment options to both its guests and the international public. Mario's efforts to cater to an international clientele helped establish the hotel as a premier destination for visitors from around the world. In 1944, Mario Castelán Meza sold the Hotel Regis to Carcho Peralta, passing on his legacy to new ownership. Tragically, the hotel ceased to exist following the devastating earthquake that struck Mexico City on September 19, 1985. Mario's tenure as the owner of the Hotel Regis left an indelible mark on the establishment's history.
