Casa Don Gustavo: A journey to the 18th Century

Going to the city of Campeche, Mexico, which has been named World Heritage Site for its architectural beauty and history, is an amazing journey to the 17th and 18th Century and its downtown has been perfectly preserved to evoke this feeling. If you are the kind of person who loves history and colonial homes, then you MUST stay at the unique and beautiful Boutique Hotel Casa Don Gustavo. From the moment you enter the place, you will feel inspired by the years of history behind its walls.

Hotel Boutique Casa Don Gustavo is located at the heart of the city and it is within walking distance of sights such as the cathedral and the colonial city walls that used to protect the city from pirates. This colonial hotel is housed in a vintage residence with fascinating archways, windows with wooden carvings, and impressive beamed ceilings. The property features colonial furnishings that serve as a fantastic backdrop and help to form a relaxing environment within the establishment.

The charming residence was built in 1750 and was recently restored and converted into this luxury boutique hotel that offers a total of 10 rooms with the highest standards of design, comfort and sophistication. Rooms, which are grouped around a typical Mexican courtyard within the building, are all furnished and decorated according to the history of the house in soothing bright yellow and terra-cotta tones . Also, Casa DON GUSTAVO has an exquisite collection of furniture and vintage art objects, harmoniously combined with amenities of modern life.

The hotel also has a  lovely pool on the roof top, next to a lounge area with traditional hammocks plus a private jacuzzi area on the next level up. Just perfect to relax and enjoy after an exhausting day of walking around the city. So if you are the kind of person who love colonial homes and haciendas which now function as hotels, CASA DON GUSTAVO is what you are looking for.
