This hotel will add to the offer of the hotel zone of Merida, where the new Yucatan International Congress Center, Powered by Samsung, is also located. In its construction, complex processes are carried out to respect the existing trees, creating a balanced environment in which one of the main objectives is that the customers enjoy nature with all the comforts.
Accompanied by Secretary of Tourism Promotion, Saúl Ancona Salazar, and businessmen of the sector, the governor said that this type of project strengthens Mérida as a prime tourist destination for congresses and conventions, while contributing to the increase of inflow and expansion of stays.
The Wayam project’s director, Jorge Preciat Cervera, explained that he will keep the original Art Deco house as a vestibule, as well as respect the 25 trees that exist on a surface of more than 4 thousand square meters, which includes 29 luxurious rooms and 11 modern apartments, depending on the requirements of the users, he said.
The hotel proposal, which weighs luxury with a sustainable approach, is designed for the current generation of people who travel for work and pleasure, and will have a construction of more than six thousand square meters in five floors.
