ARCHITECTS

Rosas & Xocolate is situated in two renovated colonial mansions, on Merida's most important historic avenue. The architecture was reinterpreted and recreated producing a fusion of contemporary with antiquity. The design uses elements and materials which distinguish Yucatecan and Mayan cultures and the early 20th century with its European influence.

The fusion concept is derived from the name of the hotel, taking architecture and design to new levels. Regional and traditional are in harmony with global contemporary. Natural materials and handcrafted finishings balance with industrial and technological.

Public areas, restaurant, kitchen, parts of the spa, terrace bar, and the 3 suites have preserved the architecture. The remaining 14 rooms and fitness center fuse modernity with scale and generous proportions, spatial quality found in near century old houses. Rosas & Xocolate is designed as a destination within a destination.

Many materials used derive from ancient techniques including "Chukum" stucco finish. The walls of the rooms are coated with the resin obtained from tree bark endemic to this region. Sisal, red earth and limestone complement the palette of natural materials echoing the aesthetic experience of the Yucatan.
