In the vibrant pulse of Mérida’s Historic Center—amid façades that safeguard centuries of history and the everyday murmur of the White City—there exists a threshold where time seems to fold, giving way to absolute serenity. This is Mansión Xodó, an urban resort conceived within a 19th-century Porfirian mansion, now reimagined as a setting for luxury and culture. Here, original architecture—defined by soaring six-meter ceilings and exposed masonry walls—engages in a contemporary dialogue to create a haven of profound calm.
For those who appreciate beauty revealed subtly through the senses, this residence invites guests to inhabit a setting of refined tranquility and quiet sophistication. It is not merely a place to stay, but an experience designed for those seeking an intimate, aesthetic, and deeply sensory environment in the heart of the city.
True luxury at Mansión Xodó lies in the elegance of discretion and the seamless flow of the stay. It is defined by an “invisible choreography,” where guests simply stop worrying—because every detail unfolds effortlessly.
More than a service, it is an intuitive form of care, designed so that nothing needs to be requested; here, desires are anticipated and resolved before they ever become a need.
In this setting, time is freed from all logistical concerns. A private chef does not wait for instructions, but instead interprets the group’s preferences to craft bespoke culinary experiences. After exploring Mérida’s historic landmarks—such as Paseo de Montejo—guests return to find the speakeasy hidden behind the library always prepared with the ideal ambiance and their preferred drink already waiting. It is the freedom of inhabiting a space where everything is simply taken care of.
At Xodó, art is not a decorative element; it is the very soul of the experience. The residence functions as a private, museum-caliber gallery, where travelers become temporary residents within a contemporary art collection featuring works by Pedro Reyes, Gonzalo Lebrija, Elena Damiani, Dr. Lakra, among others.
Each space has been carefully curated for sensory discovery:
The name “Xodó,” derived from Portuguese and used to express deep affection, reflects the essence of this project: a restoration of heritage that celebrates the beauty of a life well lived. By offering the property exclusively in its entirety, guests are granted the privilege of temporarily claiming a historic legacy as their own.
Mansión Xodó is an invitation to inherit a century and inhabit history through the serenity of the contemporary. It is the ultimate destination for the cultured traveler seeking to reconnect with the essence of calm through silence, aesthetics, and an attention so intuitive it becomes invisible.
