Coqui Coqui | The Only One Suite Collection | L’EPICERIE MERIDA
The inland city of Merida and its fading glamour has attracted artists and bohemian sophisticates, who have settled down within the city to restore old colonial buildings and give them a fresh allure. Merida is experiencing a cultural renaissance and a slow reviving of its affluent apogee.
Historic squares rich with Spanish and French colonial architecture form the background for a city rife with bustling markets, European-influenced Yucatecan cuisine, and plenty of activities to lure increasing numbers of foreigners. This architectural jewel has one of the country’s largest historic centers outside of Mexico City. Block after block of houses dating to the mid 19th century and earlier are in the midst of a restoration boom, and the city’s cultural and restaurant scenes are certainly flourishing. Spend a day wandering the ancient streets lined with french inspired buildings and you might think you’ve been transported to the early 1900s, when Mérida was in its prime.
Just a few steps away from the busy Santa Lucia Square, Coqui Coqui Merida is set within a 1903 townhouse, reminiscent of the Belle Époque era. Merida’s L’Epicerie balances the vibrancy of the city with the charm of a hidden century-old colonial home. You will experience the atmosphere of the boutique, with its high-end local handcrafts, the timeless style of the Epicerie, with the smell of freshly brewed coffee, or the tasteful selection of gourmet treats, along with a unique urban spa, all of which will transport you back in time to the “White City” in its prime opulence.
The ‘White City’ is the perfect home for Coqui Coqui’s L’Epicerie. From the cultural offerings to local craft markets, bustling gastronomic scene and distinctive architecture, Coqui Coqui Merida offers the perfect backdrop and base for exploring the unique opulence and decadent glamour of this historical Yucatán city.
