I really enjoyed my stay at this lovely colonial hotel, built in the early 1900s, and tastefully remodeled. It was a perfect location for enjoying downtown colonial Merida....highly recommend and reasonably priced too! 1 More

Gran Hotel is visually stunning: marble, sweeping staircase with ornate wrought-iron ballustrade and wood handrails, crystal chandeliers, statues, light-filled, three-story atrium....(the shape is basically a square with a hole in the middle topped by a glass greenhouse top) absolutely beautiful. You enter your room and see the soaring ceilings, walls resplendent with century-old moudlings and intricate touches, and antique furniture... More

We moved here having spent our first night in Merida in Maison Lafitte. The Gran hotel is a magnificent building located in the centre of town constructed in 1901 and retaining a wealth of original features. The building has been restored beautifully and the owners have incorporated contemporary design in many rooms while retaining lots of original features including the... More

What class! We really enjoyed our stay here even with the loud audio system from a shop across the road! Okay, and yes, with tepid showers - but really it is hot in Merida! Having hot showers is probably bad for you. Any gripes are totally overwhelm by just how stylish this place is - you feel like Fidel is... More

While visiting the Mayan countryside during the 1990s, I happened across the Gran Hotel while exploring Merida. The elegant woodwork and marble staircase struck me, and I promised myself to stay at the Gran Hotel de Merida someday. That someday arrived during January 2011, when my wife and I were guests at the Gran for three nights. The Gran’s location... More

This hotel is great. As soon as you walk in you feel you go back in time. The stairs are magnificent, the tiled floors so shiny! Oh well, what i loved the most were those huge old wooden doors. When we got there we got upgraded to a Jr. Suite with 2 bedrooms and balcony with view to the little... More

This kind of hotels are usually either closed (because too old and shabby) or five star and really expensive. But in Merida everything is different, time seems to have come to a stop in the 1960s (1960s rugs and furniture in the rooms) and in the lobby you feel propelled back to 1901 when the hotel was built: beautiful furniture,...

The Gran Hotel looks like you want a Gran Hotel to look like, which has been build up over 100 years ago! The moment you walk into the inner courtyard you feel like jumping into a old picture. The hotel offers rooms with windows to the street or rooms which have only a window to the inner courtyard and the... More
