Mérida is a vibrant city where history, nature, gastronomy, and social life come together to create unforgettable experiences. Although some don’t know it, the Yucatecan capital isn’t a coastal city. But even if there’s no beach—unless you drive half an hour to Progreso—pools are a daily occurrence and are especially appreciated on summer days. Casa Amate 61 is a luxury hostel that focuses on providing activities that promote fun and social interactions. It also stands out for being the most Instagrammable pink mansion in the city. Best of all, Casa Amate offers a Day Pass so you can enjoy its facilities even if you’re not staying with them.

Casa Amate 61 is centrally located in the Mejorada neighborhood, a 20-minute walk from Plaza Grande and 15 from La Plancha Park and Mérida’s Gastronomic Corridor. Without a doubt, the building’s most striking feature is its geometric design, which emulates Art Deco architecture with local materials and a vibrant pink color palette, decorated with handcrafted textiles. It offers private suites as well as shared rooms. But even if you’re not staying at Casa Amate, you can purchase a Day Pass to enjoy the rooftop bar and pool.
Day Pass at Casa Amate
One of Casa Amate’s highlights is its spaces and activities that promote socializing. Purchasing a Day Pass gives you access to the hotel’s facilities—including the pool, rooftop terrace, and cafeteria. For just $380 MXN, it also includes a beer and an entrance fee. The best part is that it’s available Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Casa Amate sometimes hosts special events, such as concerts and DJ sets, and prices and packages may vary slightly, but they’re still a great option for a day by the pool to beat the Mérida heat.
