Hotel Boutique Casa San Angel

My wife and I spent two wonderful weeks at Mérida’s Hotel Casa San Ángel in February 2025. The profuse and carefully -tended vegetation in the atrium made it hard to remember we were in the center of a city of a million people. Cozy rockers in the hallway surrounding the patio invited daydreaming, reading, and enjoying the play of light on the plants. Our bed was comfortable. The AC and fan worked flawlessly. Water pressure in the shower was strong. A good restaurant, Tala, is attached to the hotel, and a continental breakfast—with excellent coffee, freshly-baked bread, and fruit—was included in the room rate. We gladly paid extra for supplementary dishes, such as Tala’s award-winning huevos motuleños, tricolor enchiladas, and crepes. Upon returning from breakfast, we always found our bed made and fresh towels hung. ¡Grácias, Cristina y María! The bilingual receptionists took our laundry each morning and returned it, air-dried, that afternoon. They graciously complied with unusual requests, e.g. finding a yoga mat to lend. They ordered taxis that showed up within a few minutes, and that charged no more than those I hailed on the street. They arranged two low-cost and wonderful cenotes tours—one of them at the last minute. All of the staff were warm and friendly. We loved Mérida, and our stay at this hotel was the best part of it.
