Where is Casa Valladolid Boutique Hotel?
Most of Valladolid’s most popular tourist spots are found around its central plaza and surrounding area, and Casa Valladolid Boutique Hotel is just a couple of blocks away from it, the perfect walking distance.
As such, the hotel is surrounded by all kinds of cafes and restaurants and, just half a block to the north, by the Candelaria church, one of many to see here.
What kind of hotel is Casa Valladolid?
Mexico is full of colonial buildings, and the bigger cities in the Yucatan Peninsula are no exception. Some were turned into museums; others, into restaurants; others still, continue to be private homes. Casa Valladolid was turned into a hotel.
A good idea, since hotels like this, turn out to be the very first museum guests visit, as they offer the opportunity to get an idea of how the high class of colonial times used to live.
Casa Valladolid attempts to preserve the overall colonial atmosphere of the original building by decorating it with old furniture. The tiled floors in the rooms make them cool (not as in “wicked”, but as in low temperature), which is a welcome feature in a place like Yucatan, where the weather can be scorching hot.
They are very spacious, too, as well as the bathrooms. Plus, each room has a private, cool (temperature) terrace.
Other amenities of the Casa Valladolid Boutique Hotel
The pool is small but comfortable, with a modern-looking shaded area, perfect to relax with a book. As for the rest, there aren’t that many services, other than the normal hotel ones, such as housekeeping and free wi-fi.
Though some might consider this lacking, for others they feel appropriate, somehow.
