A guide to accommodation options in and around Merida

Where to stay in Merida

As the cultural heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, Merida boasts a wide range of accommodation options to suit most tastes and budgets.

There are numerous hotels that we can book that aren’t featured here but, in essence, we have limited ourselves to a small selection of our favourite, character-led hotels that are all within the colonial centre of the city.

At the more moderate end of the scale are the Casa del Balam and Hotel Caribe although we can also book the Gran Real Yucatan. All three properties are very close to each other.

Higher up the pecking order are smaller, more luxurious hotels like the Hotel Hacienda Merida, Casa Lecanda and Rosas y Xocolate. At the very top of the pile is the opulent Hotel Mansion Merida.

For those visitors who like their accommodation to come with a wider choice of facilities, more in the way of mod-cons and standardised accommodation, there are also a number of large, international-type hotels a short taxi ride from the historic centre, hotels such as the Fiesta Americana.

In addition to accommodation within Merida itself, we have also included a couple of properties on the city’s southern outskirts, namely the Hacienda Santa Cruz and the Hacienda Yabucu. Both can be used as a rural base from which to visit Merida on a day trip as well as exploring the surrounding region’s numerous attractions.
