Fodor's Expert Review Casa Lecanda
Calle 47 471, Mérida, Yucatán, 97000, Mexico Fodor's Choice
Housed in a fully restored former residence on Mérida's newly pedestrianized restaurant corridor, this stately boutique hotel has wrought-iron chandeliers and antique furniture that nod to a bygone era, as well as photographs of the modern-day city that anchor you in the present. Each room is unique, though beds with fine white duvets and spacious bathrooms with glass-enclosed rainfall showers are standard. Each of the two top-floor rooms has a private balcony—the perfect spot to drink your welcome tamarind margarita. The pool sits beside a hammock-adorned patio, and the restaurant serves some of Mérida's best meals.
