Casa Lucia

0 1 2 3 4

Casa Lucia is close to the heart of Mérida, with Parque Santa Lucia square on its doorstep and the Plaza Principal within 4 blocks.

Casa Lucia makes a great base for a day or two at leisure in this joyful city. Today’s hotel comprises a combination of historic Mérida townhouses, with modern additions, and it has held on to its sense of place. Décor very much leans towards the traditional with period furnishings and chandeliers setting the scene, although modern comforts remain a priority. Guest rooms with air-con, a garden with fountains and an outdoor pool makes this a handy refuge from the heat of a typical Yucatecan afternoon.

"A highlight was the street dancing and music in Mérida, what a lively city!"
Ms, Cambridge Jun 2013
Enjoyed the fact that the cenotes we visited were far from the tourist circuit and had not been turned into themed experiences.
SR, Borehamwood Apr 2026
Uxmal and Kabah: Much quieter than Chichen Itza but therefore more enjoyable.
JF Bishops Apr 2026
Best experience: “Chichen Itza. That was the reason for making the trip and it lived up to its expectations. I also loved the snorkelling in Azumal. It was spectacular.
