4 Best Hotels in Valladolid, Yucatán and Campeche States

More than a century old, this colonial-style home has been beautifully transformed into family-run hotel, where attractive rooms have beamed ceilings and antique furnishings, as well as subtle modern touches like flat-screen TVs hidden inside rustic armoires, quiet air-conditioning units, and rain shower heads inside marble bathrooms. The two slightly larger suites have whirlpool tubs, stocked minibars, and Turkish bathrobes. Despite its central location, this cozy casa has lush gardens with a waterfall as well as a courtyard, where a delightful breakfast of fruit, cereal, yogurt, and eggs is served.

The Coqui Coqui hotel group brings a contemporary feel to this luxurious property filled with vintage and handcrafted decor. As many of the Coqui Coqui properties, Mesón de Malleville is small, with just four suites, and is one of two Valladolid properties. (The other Valladolid property has only one room.) As you settle into your lavish accommodations, we doubt you'll miss the amenities of larger properties. 

Mixing the colonial with modern Mexican, this hotel's whitewashed rooms have wrought-iron fixtures and hand-carved furniture. The nicest standard rooms have orchard-view terraces; junior suites have balconies (overlooking the parking area), small kitchens, a living-dining area, and spa baths. The property also has a game room, communal computers for guests, an arboretum with local flora, and a fenced-in area for ducks. You can borrow tennis rackets and balls to use on the cement court. There's a lively palapa bar and the main restaurant has a big menu ranging from nachos to filet mignon, with Yucatecan favorites represented, too. 

On the north side of the main square, this well-preserved, 17th-century house was built around a lovely, open patio and has comfortable rooms with air-conditioning, Wi–Fi, and safes. Suites and superior class rooms have extra amenities, such as bathrobes; rooms on the fifth floor open to the pool on one side and the square on the other. The restaurant, in a courtyard with an old stone fountain and surrounded by porticoes, serves Yucatecan specialties; the ambience is more impressive than the food itself, although the soups are quite tasty.
