If you’re heading to Valladolid, Yucatán, one of the region’s beloved Pueblos Mágicos, you’re in for a treat—especially if you stay at El Mesón del Marqués. This charming hotel sits right in the Main Plaza, giving you instant access to the town’s rich history, colonial beauty, and vibrant local culture. And did we mention it’s housed in a stunning 17th-century mansion? Talk about blending history with comfort!
A Stroll Through History
El Mesón del Marqués has welcomed guests since 1967, and in those 50+ years, it’s become a symbol of Valladolid’s evolution. The hotel started with just seven rooms but has since grown into a cozy, 90-room retreat without losing its intimate and tranquil charm. Stepping inside, you’ll feel the warmth of its colonial design, with each room offering modern amenities like private bathrooms, WiFi, air conditioning, and cable TV—perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring.
Location, Location, Location
Staying at El Mesón del Marqués means you’re just steps away from Valladolid’s historic neighborhoods and key attractions. Feel like visiting ancient Mayan ruins? The world-famous archaeological sites of Chichén Itzá and Ek Balam are just a short drive away. Prefer a more laid-back vibe? Take a leisurely stroll through town, relax in the picturesque parks, or cool off in a nearby cenote. Valladolid is bursting with history and culture, and this hotel is the perfect base for your adventures.
A Taste of Yucatán
After a day out exploring Valladolid and its surrounding area, kick back at Don Diablo Rooftop, the hotel’s terrace bar. Sip on a refreshing cocktail or try one of Yucatán’s local craft beers while soaking in the stunning view of Valladolid’s Main Plaza. When we visited the moon was bright in the sky and we had a great view of the moon, Cathedral and the plaza. They have a varied menu with great food and a mixologist comes to your table and prepares a specialty cocktail just for you! You can even tell the mixologist about you or how you feel and he’ll design a drink just for your state of being at the moment. It’s a fun way to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

No trip to Valladolid is complete without indulging in Yucatecan cuisine, and Hostería del Marqués, the hotel’s restaurant, delivers just that. They serve traditional Yucatecan and Mexican dishes such as cochinita pibil, poc chuc, and papadzules, all in a grand interior patio the center focal point of the hotel. You’ll find both locals and tourists in the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s a favorite in Valladolid.
