Hotel Gran Real Yucatan is in a converted colonial mansion house with contemporary features. 

The striking hotel Gran Real Yucatán displays classic colonial elegance tempered with a light and airy contemporary touch. It is just steps away from the main cathedral and plaza in the historic downtown area of Mérida, capital of Mexico’s Yucatán province.

Much of the hotel building dates back to the 19th century when it was a family house owned by a wealthy businessman. The baroque style has been conserved with wide passages, high ceilings and antique columns, the latter surrounding the central patio. All the guest rooms have a small Juliet balcony with a view to either the pool or the garden.

The restaurant serves regional Yucatecan specialities as well as international cuisine and there’s a shop, business centre and medical service.

What our clients say

  • "A highlight was the street dancing and music in Mérida, what a lively city!"

    Ms, Cambridge

  • Uxmal and Kabah: Much quieter than Chichen Itza but therefore more enjoyable.

    JF Bishops

  • 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.

    TH Sweeden

  • Enjoyed the fact that the cenotes we visited were far from the tourist circuit and had not been turned into themed experiences.

    SR, Borehamwood

  • Highlights: San Cristobal was lovely.  Chichen Itza was very impressive.  Merida was fun in the evenings.  

    AC, West Byfleet

  • Uxmal and Kabah archaeological sites, Mexico City Very enjoyable, despite the tropical rain storm. Our guide was excellent.
