It blends colonial elegance with modern comfort and is centrally located near the International Congress Center. ## Review One of the three hotels that we stayed in on rotation when checking on home building progress. (Other two are [[Hyatt Regency Merida]] and [[Courtyard Merida Downtown]]). Beautiful classic exterior and recently renovated lobby, with an interior pool. Breakfast is good – offering local classics like *cochinita pibil* and freshly made tortillas. Beds are fairly uncomfortable and A/C didn't work for several of the rooms we've stayed in which was the biggest deal breaker.
