The seven-room Hotel Julamis is a charming boutique hotel

and decorative tile floors. Perks like minibars stocked with free water, soda,
and beer, as well as free tequila tastings and free gourmet breakfasts made by
the chef owner himself are an inviting touch, but in-room amenities are limited: There are no TV or tea- and coffee-making facilities. But the Julamis does offer a beautiful rooftop terrace with
comfortable seating and a hot tub. And the convenient location is within walking
distance of many top sights, like the cathedral and Zocalo Square, which makes
this ideal for guests seeking to explore the city on foot. Travelers might also want to consider the nearby Hotel San
Angel, which occupies a prime location by the Paseo Montejo and offers
flat-screen TVs in rooms as well as an outdoor pool and restaurant (though rates are more expensive).

Scene
Small, charming boutique hotel with hand-painted murals and an inviting atmosphere
This small boutique hotel is a charming spot that draws
mostly couples with its convenient location and welcoming atmosphere. Guests
rave about the hospitable chef owner and his inviting nature as well as his
gourmet breakfasts. Interiors are simply furnished and decorated; the reception
area is an airy space with clay tile floors, white walls, and large
windows filling the room with natural light. Black-and-white photographs line
the walls and simple wooden chairs provide seating, while potted plants and
flowers breathe an air of freshness into the space. Faux-marble columns and an
archway are an elegant touch. The adjoining lobby is a simple affair
furnished with a wicker sofa and chairs padded with beige and crimson pillows; an old tube-style TV makes the space look dated. Elsewhere, however, rooms are
charming with beautiful details like decorative floor tiles in the hotel’s
restaurant or the gorgeous leafy and floral wall murals in the hallways. The
lovely inner courtyard patio is full of lush plants and ivy creeping all over
the walls. There’s also a beautiful rooftop terrace with a bar, bedecked in
white and beige hues and filled with comfortable seating and lots of potted
palms and tropical plants imparting an oasis-like atmosphere.
Location
Convenient location within walking distance of many sites, restaurants, and shops
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of

Zocalo, which are about a 10-minute stroll away. Zocalo Square is flanked by several

State Capital Building. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars in the
surrounding area, and the Paseo Montejo, the city’s main avenue, is a
seven-minute walk from the property. This prestigious avenue was modeled after
the Champs Elysees and is lined with shopping and dining options, as well as
mansions and museums. Several ancient Mayan ruins can be reached in about an
hour’s drive, such as Uxmal, while Mayapan and Chichen Itza are about an hour
and a half away. The Merida International Airport is about a 20-minute drive.
