Where to go in Yucatán? 5 hotels to fall in love with

1. Hacienda Temozón

Hacienda Temozón belongs to Starwood’s Luxury Collection Yucatan. Set in a complex that was once used for a major presidential summit, the setting of this majestic 16th-century colonial building stands out for its lavish gardens, an exclusive spa and a top-tier romantic restaurant. Popular with newlyweds and chosen as one of the favourite hotels for a honeymoon, it’s one of the most famous places if you’re after top-level lodging.

Hacienda Temozón is in Sinhunchén, just 45 kilometres from Mérida. It’s undoubtedly the best place to stay if you’re visiting the archaeological ruins of Uxmal.

2. Rosas y Xocolate Hotel Boutique

Themed hotels are in fashion, and Mérida is no exception. Rosas y Xocolate, on Paseo Montejo, is one of them. Elegant and with wonderful design, it’s a must-visit if you want to live in Mérida and are looking for unique, exclusive experiences. As well as offering elegant rooms, this hotel has an interesting spa whose treatments are done 100 percent with cacao. There’s also a terrace, ideal for enjoying a drink while watching the sunset.

3. Chablé Resort & Spa

Another essential place to visit is Chocholá and the grand Chablé Resort & Spa hotel. Designed within a former factory dedicated to processing sisal thread, this vast, jungle-covered complex is the new refuge of one of Mexico’s most charming spas and home to one of the best hotels in the world — in 2017 it was honoured with that recognition by the International Union of Architects and UNESCO. Its restaurant IXI’IM has also received a Prix Versailles, a famous award for commercial architecture. At the complex you can play golf, meditate, visit its temazcal or have a treatment at its superb spa.

Chablé Resort & Spa is at Tablaje 642, Chocholá, almost 40 kilometres from Mérida.
