Mérida has 85+ hotels and places to stay covered in this guide, led by Hotel Las Margaritas Mérida, Hotel Residencial and Hotel Boutique Mansión Lavanda. Each entry below includes the practical details — what it costs, when to go, and how to plan around it.

Mérida is the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán, a warm, walkable colonial city founded in 1542 on the Maya site of T'Hó. Its Plaza Grande, Paseo de Montejo mansions, Yucatecan cooking and low costs make it a base for Uxmal, Chichén Itzá, Izamal, Celestún and dozens of cenotes.

Accommodation overview

Mérida has about 85 listed places to stay across the Centro Histórico, Santiago, Paseo de Montejo, Avenida Colón, northern Mérida and the haciendas on the outskirts. Hostels and guesthouses run roughly MXN 300-700 (USD 16-38) per night, mid-range hotels and boutique guesthouses roughly MXN 1,000-3,200 (USD 54-174), and luxury hotels and haciendas MXN 3,000-6,500 or more (USD 163-353). Most visitors stay in the Centro Histórico, within walking distance of Plaza Grande, the cathedral and Mercado Lucas de Gálvez; Paseo de Montejo and Avenida Colón suit travelers who want full-service chain hotels. Book ahead for the Day of the Dead period (late October to early November), Christmas and New Year, Semana Santa and the dry-season winter months from December to March.

Booking tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

Tip

Rates are approximate nightly ranges in MXN with USD at roughly 18.4 MXN per USD (October 2026); confirm the current rate with the hotel before booking, since prices vary by season and day of the week.

Tip

High season runs from December to March and again around Day of the Dead, Christmas and Semana Santa; book several weeks ahead for those dates. Summer from June to September is hot and humid, and rates are often lower.

Tip

Many Centro Histórico hotels are converted colonial houses with courtyards; air conditioning is standard, but street noise can carry on Calle 60 and on weekend nights, so ask for an interior room.

Tip

Check whether the 16 percent IVA and the Yucatán lodging tax are included in the quoted rate, as many boutique hotels list prices before taxes.

Tip

The airport (MID) is about 25 minutes from the center by taxi; prepaid airport taxis and Uber/DiDi operate, and the Tren Maya station at Mérida-Teya is outside the city, so allow time for the transfer.

Tip

Hacienda hotels and northern chain hotels are far from the center; plan on a taxi or rental car, or choose the Centro Histórico or Santiago for walkable access to restaurants and plazas.
