El Palomar Starting at $75.00 Many colonial buildings contained nitches of stone, placed for the pidgeons to nest there. The archaeological site at Uxmal has a major building which the Spanish dubbed El Palomar. Our room, was once the nesting terrace for our pidgeons and when the room was built the birds kept returning for years, seeking entrance. This is a third floor room, very private and with a king size bed which can be separated into 2 twin beds, with its ensuite bathroom located on a fourth level. Sixty-six steps will get you to bed - not for the faint-hearted. This room, wrapped in tropical foliage, conveniently connects to all of the upper-level terraces and city views and the bar and lounge. The colonial bell-towers, city-hall and the Merida Cathedral are visible from here. /images/properties/647828/elpalomar2.jpg /images/properties/647828/elpalomarbathroom.jpg

Enrique Granados Starting at $75.00 Honoring another romantic Spanish composer and his Goyescos. Granados' "The Lady and the Nightingale" would have felt at home here. Truly, Goyaesque, with wooden beams from colonial times, abundant wrought iron and a portrait of Santa Teresa de Avila purveying the scene. This is a second floor room with private balcony hanging over the tropical pool and central courtyard below. The cool color scheme of blues and greys is calming. The bed is kingsize that can also be split into 2 twin beds. This room has a rooftop terrace equal in size to the floorspace of the room, itself.

Frida Kahlo Starting at $85.00 Once used as a bodega for storing balls of chicle, the original raw material for producing chewing gum, when the owners managed cooperatives of Mayan chicle gatherers in the jungles of Quintana Roo. It is located on the ground level, but it is a split level room. It has 1 queen bed on the main level and upstairs there is 1 twin bed. Upstairs there is a door that opens to a beautiful garden. A roster of nicknames and jungle campsites is still glued within the armoire. Facing a cenote-like pool and a riot of tropical foliage, this large ground floor room employs Spanish tile, old and new, together with vintage Mayan Art and textiles to fill its ample space. Frida never slept here but would have certainly liked the folk-art.

La Kajera Room Starting at $75.00 A memory and vision of a time on Patmos was with me when this room was designed. I imagine it clinging to an outcropping of rock. But the tropical foliage below its balcony quickly destroys that image! It is white and cool shades of blue and limestone. An eccentric and delightful whimsical memory of Greece, it got its name, La Kajera, from a venerable dooryard orange tree that had to be sacrificed to build the room. The bed is queen size -- the room is air conditioned -- and the balcony overlooking the garden well becomes part of the room.

Manuel de Falla Starting at $85.00 The Manuel de Falla Room is named in honor of the romantic Spanish composer. It is located on the 2nd floor and has 1 queen bed and 1 twin bed so it can sleep 3 people. "Noches en los jardines de Espana" is a reality here, with its ancient tiled balcony hanging over the garden well and the room's main entrance hanging over the central courtyard and pool. This was the home's master bedroom and still contains its original arabesque tile flooring, doors and windows and protective wrought iron. The massive queen-size iron bed was copied from an ancient one on the Greek island of Patmos. The large bathroom was once part of an elaborate steam bath, installed when monied residents thought they needed a bit of "modern technology" in the 1920's.
