Gamma Merida El Castellano, Merida

With 160 rooms, Gamma El Castellano is one of the city’s larger hotels, providing space for facilities such as an outdoor pool and a well-quipped gym. Accommodation categories are split into Studio (standard), Superior and Master Suite and are designed with stylish, red-tiled flooring; simple, elegant furniture; and wide windows. The restaurant, serving a mixture of regional and international dishes, is set in a large, atmospheric dining hall with high ceilings, antique-style lighting and paintings depicting rural landscapes and communities. The local character spills from the dining hall onto the surrounding streets at just two blocks from the main plaza and cathedral, in the colonial heart of the city.
