About this property

Our largest suite: 985 sq ft, self check-in, walk to downtown

Gran Cenote is the largest and grandest of the four suites at The Secret Cenote Hotel, Jacksonville's only cenote-themed boutique hotel. At 985 sq ft it feels more like your own downtown residence than a hotel room.

An open-concept living room, dining area and kitchen flow together for easy entertaining. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom has a King bed and an oversized glass-enclosed walk-in shower; the second bedroom has a Queen bed and a full bath with a traditional tub. You'll also have an in-suite washer and dryer, a 55" TV, free high-speed Wi-Fi, climate control and allergy-friendly floors.

The building is an experience in itself: soft jazz in the halls, dramatic lighting and hand-painted black steel girders under tall ceilings. Check-in is fully self-service with a unique suite code, and an elevator serves the building. Security cameras cover the entrance and common areas only, never the suites.

You're steps from Chantilly's, Neighbors Cafe, The Ritual and downtown's antique shops, with Kiepersol Winery a short drive away. Parking is free and first come, first served. Ideal for families, small groups, business travel and longer stays. Non-smoking.
Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms. Change of towels is available on request.
