Decu Downtown

Intimate and inspiring, Decu Downtown is a boutique retreat in the truest sense. And while many use the word ‘sanctuary’, Decu really feels like a haven in the core of Mérida – one of Mexico’s most buzzing cities. With a contemporary take on colonial architecture, personalised service and just a handful of rooms, it’s elegant, exclusive and makes every moment effortless.

After immersion in the cultural heartland of the town, dip into the hotel’s inviting infinity pool. Or stretch out in the shade of a tree in the tannkabRead more[SPLIT]Read less – the Mayan garden. Within the striking colonnades of the casona, the modernist style flows from the lounge bar to the bedrooms, where clean lines, high ceilings and neutral tones instantly soothe. To take the relaxation up a notch, Decu Downtown offers spa treatments – with its own range of products also featuring in your spa-like bathroom. And once you’ve nourished the body, feed the soul with dinner at the hotel restaurant. Here, the walls open up to serve a side of fresh breezes with the creative Yucatán-inspired menus – best followed up with a post-supper drink in the bar. 

Cool, calm and connected to the Yucatán capital, Decu Downtown places you moments from its must-see sites. Stroll out into the walled city to see the Cathedral of Mérida, pause in Plaza Santa Lucía and see the charismatic avenues crafted from Mayan carvings and limestone, which gave rise to the ‘White City’ nickname. Or ask the friendly hotel team to arrange a tour. Meanwhile up on the hotel’s rooftop, Decu’s alfresco lounge is made for upscale downtime – and relaxing with a book or board game at skyline level.
