One of the first hotels built at Chichen Itza, and one of the world's first within an archaeological site, The Lodge at Chichen Itza is as much a landmark as El Castillo, the towering pyramid of Equinox fame. Reminiscent of the hacienda nobility of a century ago, the property's genteel hospitality and old-fashioned charm is a legacy enhanced by the addition of every amenity a guest could want. Bungalows built in the traditional Mayan style, three-unit villas are nestled among the trees and flowers of the beautifully landscaped hotel. Clustered around secluded swimming pools, deluxe rooms built with materials native to the region - most especially the handsome hardwoods for which this part of the world is known. The rooms are individual masterpieces whose appointments are handpicked from the work of local artisans. The generous use of rich, aged mahogany is enhanced by the addition of ethnic ceramics, textiles and artwork. Doors are intricately carved with Mayan motifs; stained glass windows set the rooms aglow with understated colors. All accommodations have air-conditioning, ceiling fans, servibars and satellite color TV. And, in keeping with the customs of the region, rocking chairs and hammocks await your pleasure on the terrace.
The Lodge at Chichen Itza is your base for trips in the area. Highlights include Balancanche Cave, Dzinup Cenole, the colonial towns of Valladolid and Izamal, the Mayan site of Ek Balam and Uxmal, Rio Lagartos National Park, the bird watching Mecca of the hemisphere, and Merida, capital of the Yucatan.
