NEWS| DoubleTree by Hilton Merida opens in Mexico


Hilton Worldwide has announced the opening of a DoubleTree by Hilton in Merida - the largest city and capital of Mexico's state of Yucatan. Built around an early 20th century mansion, the four-storey DoubleTree by Hilton Merida offers 100 rooms.
"This latest addition in Merida is a prime example of our efforts to bring the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands to new destinations, and provide travellers a Hilton Worldwide hotel wherever they may visit in the remarkable country of Mexico," said Danny Hughes, senior vice president, Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America, Hilton Worldwide. Constructed within an elegant mansion built over 50 years ago, the hotel's eclectic design, highlighted by a façade carved in marble and granite, reflects the thriving economy of the Yucatan peninsula's late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dining options feature the signature restaurant La Casona Colón, open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and boasting a blend of local specialties and Caribbean cuisine prepared using French culinary techniques. La Raspa bar provides exclusive cocktails and beverages in a hip and eclectic atmosphere.
