"A laser-focus on design, and a longstanding sense for great hospitality, has led to a boom of memorable new hotels and rentals. Whether you're looking for great flavors or a cultural experience, there are as many storied, longstanding must-visits as there are chic endeavors from young creatives-on any visit to Mérida, the winning formula is to find the balance between the two."
"the more laid-back Tulum. Many who find themselves in Mérida are en route to notable Mayan ruins: Zona Arqueologica de Uxmal, Xcambó, Dzibilchaltún (and the list goes on). But anyone with a taste for the urban would do well to fly in or out of Mérida and spend at least a few days on either end of those trips exploring the city proper."
"Assuming you're staying in Centro-which you should be-spend a slow morning around the Plaza Principal de Mérida, also known as Plaza Grande. Whether you prefer the sun or the shade (best taken in the shadow of the mighty Catedral de San Ildefonso, one of the oldest churches in the Americas dating back to 1598), there will be a seat for you in the form of las sillas confidentes."
Mérida occupies a quieter corner of the Yucatán peninsula that sits near bustling Cancún and relaxed Tulum while serving as a gateway to major Mayan ruins. A strong emphasis on design and enduring hospitality has produced a recent surge in notable hotels and rentals. The city pairs storied historic sites and longstanding attractions with fresh, creative endeavors from young designers and restaurateurs. Staying in Centro invites leisurely mornings at Plaza Principal and historic cathedral views, with local quirks like las sillas confidentes. The city rewards multi-day visits focused on food, shopping, architecture, and nearby archaeological sites.
