People from Mexico City, New York or other cosmopolitan cities practically feel at home because of the standards now offered in Playa Del Carmen.
The Artisan Hotel Playa Del Carmen
The Artisan Hotel was a collaboration of a group of architects and businesspeople that have already opened boutique hotels in other parts of Mexico and have plans to expand across the country including another 40-room hotel that is finishing construction here in the Riviera Maya.
From the outside of the Artisan Hotel on 5th Avenue most people would not expect to find the large central atrium and well-designed hotel. Throughout the hotel there are murals and an ode to artist that gives way to the name of the hotel.
The Artisan Hotel opened in the spring of 2014 for a soft opening and then fully open by the summer. This boutique hotel only has 22 rooms, so they are able to focus on quality and service to their guest. The Artisan is an adult only hotel, other hotels by this group will be for families.
