The Space
In the center of the historic city of Mérida, México, behind an unassuming facade, CalleOuvert blooms from the cityscape, like a living organism, structures at once anomalous and harmonious in their surroundings. CalleOuvert, was choreographed as a Boutique Hotel Village concept by dancer visionaries Beth Woronoff Brown and David Brown. The structure is a series of zoomorphic organisms, abandoning linear order in favor of fluid, elegantly playful forms that seem to emerge directly from the earth.

Here, architecture transcends mere form; enveloping and igniting both body and soul. Wandering through our gardens, you are embraced by bold curves and flowing volumes. Let your gaze dance between nature and art, as your spirit expands, grounding your feet in the natural world.

Each of the 6 offerings is a unique layering of walls and plants, framed views and cocoon-like spaces, private and bright with pasta tiles, chukum walls, handmade ceramic light fixtures, and other decorative pieces. Private outdoor spaces invite relaxation in hammocks, while ensuite bathrooms, kitchenettes and personal workspaces rewrite the travel experience.

The hotel is located 5 blocks from the Grand Plaza and a short walk to the magical neighborhood of La Ermita. Our attentive and on-site bilingual manager will help ensure your stay is nothing short of exceptional, assisting with tour arrangements to see the pyramids, cenotes, flamingos, and beaches, as well as restaurant, art gallery, dance, music, and theater performance recommendations to enhance your visit and immersion in the vibrant local Yucatán culture.
