Mansión Mérida Boutique Hotel - Restaurant

The hotel is a mansion lovingly converted into a hotel by the original owner’s great grandson Raul. He greeted us like family and made sure to check in all week to make sure we were being spoiled enough. The outside and interior courtyard featuring a large fountain are beautiful and the public areas inside are furnished with wonderful ceramics, paintings, furniture and plants. The restaurant in the hotel serves excellent food in the courtyard, the bar and a patio area right outside the main entrance. Waitstaff are so solicitous and friendly; it was a pleasure to see them every morning for our delicious breakfasts. We had room service one night, ate a snack on the patio one afternoon and had dinner there on a different day. The food never disappointed. All of the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and it nice to meet the manager, Ivan who I had communicated with prior to our trip. The hotel is very close to the main plaza, shopping, restaurants and walking distance to Paseo Montejo which features some beautiful French influenced mansions built when Merida was one of the wealthiest cities in the world due to the henequin or sisal trade. Our room was large, had lots of storage for clothes and had stenciled walls and a sitting area in addition to a desk. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also large and had great water pressure in the oversized shower. We spent a week there including Christmas and got to enjoy trips to cenotes, the ruins at Uxmal and a day at the beach near Progreso. We also enjoyed a festive Christmas Eve hotel dinner with live music, decorations and a special menu featuring 4 courses and wine. We will definitely stay again on another trip to Merida. It is rare to find such personal attention and relaxed atmosphere in an historical building. Great work Raul!!

Real gem The hotel has beautiful decor, elegant furnishings and it’s centrally located in the historic district. Hotel stuff was friendly, helpful and professional. The owner Raul was very welcoming and made us feel like at home, made sure that he got to talk to us when we arrived and before we left. Very comfortable beds, extra large rooms, every room had a safe, spacious closets, bath robes, slippers and the housekeepers made sure the rooms were clean every morning and evening. There was a beautiful fruit basket for us when we checked in and we got cookies every night. This is a very special property and we would love to come back soon.

Gorgeous architecture, beautiful light, enormous rooms, elegant, 19 century living

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The hotel is much prettier on person. The staff was very friendly. My spanish isn't very good and the staff spoke just enough English that we were able to communicate without any worries of misunderstanding. When I go back to Mérida, this will be where I stay. The food was very good. We had dinner and breakfast the next morning. I highly recommend staying here.

Superb hospitality and service by the owner Raul and his staff made our 5-night stay very comfortable. Its location was very central and convenient to all attractions and safe nightly activities. Centrally located to easy access to historical sites. Ambience and splendor of old hacienda was preserved. Sumptuous breakfasts were very delicious. Highly recommended.
