The 16th-century structure that houses Hotel Sevilla is a former mansion that has welcomed artists, poets, artists, and shapers of the city's culture over the years.
Inspired by Yucatán hacienda cisterns, the secluded pool is framed by weathered walls and tropical foliage—a peaceful escape from the city heat.
Guests experience Yucatán culture through local materials, craftsmanship, and cuisine, all embraced by a historic setting.
Location
The hotel is situated in the oldest part of Downtown Mérida, one block from the main square, Mayan markets, and most of the city’s important historic buildings and plazas. Founded originally by the Spaniard conquerors, Mérida is a colonial city (and the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán); here, one feels the Spanish past, as well as a strong Mayan atmosphere.

Architecture Zeller & Moye
To bring this almost-vanished historical jewel back to life, the architects kept the vintage façade and old walls intact so that present and past layers coexist to form a single, richer entity. Warm whites and grays provide a neutral background that enables the structure to stand out amid the verdant greenery. A generous, central spiral staircase was created to connect two stories of the house at the cloister, while the floors have been finished with polished ceramic, reinterpreting the materials used in the colonial houses of Yucatán.
Interior design Zeller & Moye
Here, the natural elements—vegetation, sky, earth, water, fire, the flow of air—form the central experience. Modernism, traditional Yucatán architecture, and local craftsmanship come together through bespoke elements—almost all the furniture has been specially designed for the hotel—with an abundance of brass, lacquered steel, stone, and leather adding gravitas. A warm, monochrome color palette of whites, light grays, and blacks complements the endemic vegetation found throughout the private and public areas of the hotel.
