Hilton Worldwide Announces Opening of DoubleTree by Hilton in Merida

Hilton Worldwide has announced the opening of a DoubleTree by Hilton in Merida – the largest city and capital of Mexico’s state of Yucatan. Built around an early 20th century mansion, the four-story DoubleTree by Hilton Merida welcomes guests to an experience inspired by the area’s history.

"This latest addition in the exciting city of Merida is a prime example of our efforts to bring the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands to new destinations, and provide travellers a Hilton Worldwide hotel wherever they may visit in the remarkable country of Mexico," said Danny Hughes, senior vice president, Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America, for Hilton Worldwide.

Located in the city’s business district, DoubleTree by Hilton Merida is just 10 minutes from the international airport and five minutes from Merida’s most well-known avenue "Paseo de Montejo".

The 100-room hotel is ideal for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel’s surrounding area is home to many businesses and institutions, while the convention center is just 15 minutes away.

Guests can visit Paseo de Montejo, a 19th century boulevard inspired by the Champs Elysees lined with lush trees and elegant mansions. Ideal for a stroll back in time, the area offers dining, museums and colonial period architecture.

DoubleTree by Hilton Merida is the perfect starting point to experience the city’s culture and history. Constructed within an elegant mansion built over 50 years ago, the hotel’s eclectic design, highlighted by a facade carved in marble and granite, reflects the thriving economy of the Yucatan peninsula’s late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Hilton Worldwide currently has a portfolio of 28 hotels and resorts open and welcoming travellers in Mexico. The company is actively pursuing additional Latin America growth opportunities with a robust development pipeline that includes properties in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.
