Our story
Antelar Casa Destino
A sanctuary in the heart of Merida
Anticipation is an essential part of every traveler's story and the philosophy behind what we do. It is that desire that gives meaning to our dreams and longings, regardless of the destination. You made it! Welcome — feel at home and let yourself go.
Hotel Antelar is the result of a unique and free expression. The concept, by architects Jean-Sebastien Houyoux and Andreas Croitoru, is provocative: a constant stimulation of gentle forms and sensations. We want to transcend and become part of your travel stories.
Housed in a restored 19th-century manor in the first square of the historic center, every corner of Antelar tells a story. The pasta tile floors, the soaring ceilings, the colonial arches — all of these original architectural elements have been carefully preserved and enhanced.
Our spaces
Terrace — Meeting point
Everyone has a place reserved in our universe. At the terrace bar, our guests write their travel journals: travelers seeking tranquility, ready to taste unique flavors, start a conversation, and make new friends.
Deck & Pool — Peninsular oasis
The warm climate of the Yucatan region provides the unique energy of this paradise nestled in the heart of Merida. The fresh water of our pool — perhaps the widest in downtown — the hammock area, lounge chairs, and lush greenery invite you to forget everything, relax, and rest.
Artisanal — Unique and detailed
Explore the stories behind the pieces that give our surroundings a unique personality. Created by sensitive and loving hands, the crafts that inhabit Antelar have diverse origins with purpose and meaning.
