What it’s good at
Notable
Root-like ceiling latticework and a woven fibre chandelier casting dappled lobby light.
Listed
Rooftop infinity pool gatherings with afternoon DJ sessions overlooking the Nichupté Lagoon.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
La Isla Entertainment Village surrounds the hotel, and the public beach at Playa Marlin sits just across the boulevard.
The rooms
Local murals hang beside jungle-print headboards, and king rooms add a hanging swing right by the window.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop infinity pool sits above Nichupté Lagoon, flanked by stepped sun decks and an open-air hot tub.
The gym and spa
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the 24-hour rooftop gym, and the spa has a sauna, steam room, and massage suites.
Bar
Wander Rooftop
The open-air terrace serves agave cocktails and octopus tostadas under a slatted timber ceiling overlooking the lagoon.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
