CASTELMAR

 
 

The building that houses this hotel dates back to 1800.

It was initially built to be used as army barracks, but then became one of the first hotels in Campeche City, and remained as such for almost a century.

In 2004, its new owners started remodeling it completely, although they respected the original architecture, floors, ceilings, patio, hallways and colonial decoration, without neglecting modern amenities such as wireless internet, direct dial telephone, satellite TV, swimming pool and air conditioning, among others.

The hotel is located in the historic center of Campeche City (declared World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO), a few steps from the sea. It is surrounded by historic buildings, colonial houses, churches, forts and walls, souvenir stores, museums, convention center, bars and restaurants.

The rooms are decorated with colonial style; they have original tile floors, high ceilings with wood beams, cedar furniture and completely new bathrooms.

Courtesy continental breakfast is included daily.

There are 22 standard rooms and 3 Junior Suites which include Satellite TV, air conditioning, Wireless internet, Fan,  and radio alarm.


The best way to explore Campeche City and its historic center from the hotel is on foot, because everything is within a short walking distance.

You can, for example, visit “House number 6”, to get a glimpse of how the wealthy people used to live. Other places not to miss are the Cathedral, the Main Square, the Historic Center, and even the Pier.

Outside Campeche City there are several sights that are worth visiting: the archaeological sites of Calakmul and Edzna, the caves of Xtacumbilxunaan, the beaches of Champoton and nearby villages full of tradition and culture.
