Hotel Sevilla
Colonial ruin meets minimalist modernism. Warm whites, light grays, and black ceramics throughout. Almost all furniture was custom-designed for the hotel. Natural elements — water, sky, fire, vegetation — are central to the experience rather than decorative afterthoughts.
The rear courtyard pool is a second, more private space — the social cantina courtyard under the almond trees up front is where action happens at night.
Why It Matters
Grupo Habita's first Mérida property, inaugurated in late 2025 and named part of the Design Hotels collection (bookable via Marriott Bonvoy). The building's 16th-century bones were preserved as found — stone ruins and all — making it one of the most architecturally honest heritage restorations in the Yucatán. Named Best Hotel Opening by superfuture in January 2026.
Hotel Sevilla is a 16th-century colonial villa in Mérida's historic center, rescued by boutique operator Grupo Habita after sitting near-derelict for years. Architecture firm Zeller & Moye kept the original stone walls, timber beams, frescoes, and weathered arches intact — then placed raw concrete, brutalist bathrooms, and a sculptural spiral staircase right alongside them. The result is a 21-room property that feels genuinely layered rather than restored-to-death, arranged around two courtyards planted with subtropical greenery and anchored by a concrete pool carved out of what used to be horse stables.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Charming Room
Compact but well-lit, with an open layout that preserves original wood-beam ceilings to maximize the sense of height and space. Furniture is crafted from regional Yucatecan woods with henequen textiles and industrial-style brass lamps. Overlooks the courtyard. The bathroom channels brutalism — gray concrete walls and brushed brass fixtures.
Queen · 21 sqm
Historic Patio Corner Suite
The largest accommodation in the hotel. Corner position means natural light from two directions, flooding through the preserved wood-beam ceiling. Features a full desk and table — usable as a workspace or dining surface. Local craftwork, henequen textiles, ivory or black lacquered joinery, and brass industrial lighting throughout. Brutalist concrete bathroom. Sleeps 2.
King · 42 sqm
Historic Patio Room
A step up in size with serene patio views and a dedicated sitting area. The open layout preserves the original wood-beam ceiling. Furniture is made from regional woods with ivory or black lacquered joinery and henequen textiles. Sleeps 2.
King · 27 sqm
Pool Garden Suite
Direct pool and garden access plus a cozy sitting area make this the most connected-to-the-outdoors option. Yucatán heritage is front and center — local wood furniture, henequen textiles, preserved wood-beam ceiling. The brutalist concrete bathroom contrasts with the suite's warmth. Sleeps 2.
King · 32 sqm
Pool View Room
Bright and airy with pool views and a layout that preserves the historical wood-beam ceiling. Decor leans into local Yucatecan craftsmanship — furniture in regional woods, henequen textiles, and bold brass or yellow industrial-style lamps. The concrete bathroom provides a deliberately stark contrast to the warm room design.
