Hotel Hacienda Merida - Yucatan
Hotel Hacienda Mérida was named one of the ?Best New Hotels in the World? in the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List 2008.
About the location: There is Mexico... and then there is Yucatán. The region and the country share much, yet their histories diverge at many points. Yucatán is the land of the Maya, one of the world?s largest intact indigenous groups. The food is also different, characterized by the infamous
habanero, the world?s hottest
chile, and has much in common with Caribbean and European cuisine. Pit-smoked meats, plantains, Dutch cheeses, Portuguese sausages and Lebanese specialties are some of the typical foods of the region, a surprise to those expecting traditional Mexican!
Culturally, the region has its own music, dance and literature, and of course, the Mayan archaeological sites known throughout the world.
The capital city Mérida was once home to the world?s largest per capita population of millionaires.
It is now experiencing a resurgence, attracting travelers from all over the globe who are discovering its many charms. Your home for the week is the charming Hotel Hacienda Mérida located in the heart of the historic district. Privately owned and operated, the property was recently transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel of eight suites, a mix of historical, traditional and contemporary elements, with the comfort of the guests foremost.
