A guide to accommodation options in and around Campeche

Despite its undoubted aesthetic appeal, Campeche’s relative isolation means it gets very few visitors. Thankfully, those visitors who do make the effort are rewarded with some excellent accommodation options.

More specifically, within the city’s historic, colonial centre are 3 heritage hotels, each of which perfectly caters for a very different price point.

Top of the price pile is the Hacienda Campeche, a top end hotel adjacent to the old city walls, especially popular with the US market. Closer to the main square are 2 equally charming but more affordable options, the Casa Don Gustavo and Hotel Castelmar. These 2 hotels are with spitting distance of each other with the Hotel Castelmar offering the most affordable option.

In a similar price range to the Castelmar, and another popular option, is the Hotel Socaire.

As long as one books a reasonable distance in advance, availability is seldom a problem although there are other options that we can suggest if need be, hotels such as Francis Drake and the Hotel Plaza Campeche.

Outside of the city, approximately 45 minutes’ drive inland into the surrounding hills, is probably the Yucatan’s most outstanding hacienda experience, the wonderfully atmospheric Hacienda Uayamon. If you’re going to splash the cash anywhere, this is possibly the best place to do so.

Finally, while few people think of the beach when it comes to Campeche, some 30 minutes’ drive south of the city is Hotel Tucan Siho Playa, not a bad option for a few days relaxing by the sea.
