PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Casa de Cortes is a rare hospitality-ready property in Mérida Centro, combining the charm of a beautifully restored colonial home with the functionality of a newly constructed casita designed for independent guest accommodation.
Set on a generous 680 m² (7,319 ft²) lot, the property offers a unique balance of historical character, modern comfort, and operational potential. The main house preserves its authentic architectural identity with high ceilings, original hardwood doors and windows, colorful pasta tiles, and inviting social areas. Carefully integrated Chukum finishes enhance the overall ambiance and provide a warm, refined aesthetic.
At the center of the property lies a tranquil garden oasis with mature tropical plants and trees. A spacious Chukum-finished pool anchors the outdoor social areas, creating an ideal environment for guests to relax, socialize, and experience the lifestyle Mérida is known for.
Complementing the colonial residence, the brand-new casita introduces a contemporary hospitality component with six independent guest bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. Three rooms are fully finished and furnished, while three are partially completed—allowing the future owner to customize finishes and concept according to their operational vision.
With its scale, layout, and flexible accommodation structure, Casa de Cortes is exceptionally well-suited for boutique hospitality concepts such as a small hotel, Bed & Breakfast, retreat space, or hybrid residence-plus-business model.

MÉRIDA
Mérida, the capital of Yucatán, traces its rich history back to the ancient Mayan civilization and was founded in 1542 by Spanish conquistador Francisco de Montejo. Its historic center showcases magnificent colonial buildings and boulevards, including the iconic Paseo de Montejo, reflecting the city’s past wealth and charm. As the gateway to the Maya world, Mérida draws visitors to nearby sites like Chichen Itzá and Uxmal while offering residents a modern, safe, and vibrant lifestyle.
Renowned for its high quality of life, Mérida attracts expats from all over the world with its exceptional healthcare system, favorable climate, and welcoming community.
