Casa Mexilio
CASA MEXILIO is a mix of memories and themes of the lives of those who have inhabited its rooms. It is elegant and at the same time homey and genial. She wears her age well and with some style. She is a green, comfortable and tranquil oasis in the heart of an historic and hurried city. This 19th century, three-story, neo-classical townhouse, filled with the trappings and echos of other centuries is where ,then, President Lazzaro Cardenas debated the conditions of Mexico's expropriation of the Henequen Haciendas with the unhappy hacienda owners. It's a place which stirs creativity and prompts decadence. '...a vibrant hybrid of Mayan, Spanish, and Arab influences, CASA MEXILIO artfully incorporates its city's heritage into eight(ten)unique rooms in the center of town.' - observed Conde Nast Traveler (3/99), while The New York Times found '...inside, all is Mexican colonial...breakfast was included and the place was positively delightful.' And Fodor's Yucatan announced us '...the most exquisitely decorated bed-and-breakfast in Merida, if not the entire country...being restored to something beyond its original splendor.'
