Guadalupe Inn was developed in the 1950s at the same time that adjacentColonia Florida in the lands of Hacienda de Guadalupe, property of José de Teresa, brother in law ofPorfirio Díaz.[3][4]
The neighborhood was planned with a modern design, with a roundabout in the center from which several diagonal streets would depart towards the limit of Guadalupe Inn. From its conception, thecolonia was planned as a residential zone, but in recent years commercial buildings and multi-story buildings have been constructed near Av. Revolución andAvenida de los Insurgentes.
Lately, the construction of tall buildings at the interior of the area has provoked negative reactions from the neighbors.[5]
The streets in the neighborhood have names of Mexican composers such asJuventino Rosas,Macedonio Alcalá,Silvestre Revueltas andFelipe Villanueva.
In 1991, the segment of the Felipe Villanueva street between Manuel M. Ponce andInsurgentes Sur was changed to Su Santidad Juan Pablo II, in honor ofPope John Paul II, this, due to the fact of theApostolic Nunciature in Mexico being located here. This was done despite a clear breach of the regulations for streets nomenclature changes of the Nomenclature Commission of theFederal District.[6]
