A quiet, sophisticated gem

This is one of the best small hotels I have ever stayed in. The property is gorgeous -- a beautiful blend of historic architecture with modern touches. The staff was always pleasant and happy to answer questions about restaurants, things to do, etc. The location is great too -- slightly west of the main tourist core in Santa Lucia, so a bit quieter, but still easy to walk to restaurants, shops and the Plaza Grande.

Architects choice in a small hotel in Merida

Beautifully designed small hotel but with a quiet, peaceful, spread out setting. Great details. Nice pool and comfy beds. Close to Santa Lucia Park and 15 min walk to Plaza Grande. A couple good cantinas in the area, one had a jazz band 👌

Highly recommended in Merida

An excellent hotel in Mérida. The villa-like atmosphere and architecture was matched only by the attentiveness of the staff. Wake up to a morning swim at the manicured crystal watered pool and follow with breakfast....or just a short walk to several coffee shops nearby. On a quiet street, but just a few blocks to the heart of the old town district. Highly recommend Casa Destino Antelar

Beautiful, well decorated room with high ceilings!! A huge window that leads out to a private balcony with small table and chairs. Room was on the 2nd floor. The bed was super comfortable and had handcrafted pillow cases and runners. The bathroom had high ceilings, beautiful lighting and best smelling lotion. Rain shower with a sweet smelling conditioner I fell in love with. Front desk people were super friendly and helpful. There is someone at the desk 24/7. Love pool and hammocks. Walking distance to Chaya Maya and La Negrita bar.

Hotel Antelar Casa Destino is a lovely boutique hotel in the old colonial sector of Merida. The architecture is magnificent, the rooms beautiful and comfortable, and the location ideal - walking distance from Merida's attractions but in a quiet enclave. The service and staff were outstanding.
