What We Are

A curated collection of living history.

Casonas MX is a Mexican premium hospitality brand offering carefully restored colonial homes with contemporary sensitivity and interiors designed for contemplation, within the recinto amurallado — the UNESCO-designated walled city of Campeche.

Here, every house is a pause. Time is not filled: it is lived. Each space invites silence, slow observation, the luxury of being present. A luxury without haste, beauty without noise.

Memory guides us, giving houses back their voice, their light, their way of saying "welcome" with details.

At the heart of this vision is a genuine desire for guests to feel not simply accommodated, but truly welcomed. Every stay is designed so visitors feel at home — embraced by warmth, comfort, and thoughtful details that invite them to experience the city from within.

At Casonas MX, every wall holds a whisper.

The Destination

Why Campeche?

Campeche is a destination that unfolds like a beautifully kept secret.

Wrapped in centuries-old walls and kissed by the warm breeze of the Gulf, this enchanting city invites you into a world where history and elegance exist in perfect harmony. Every street is a composition of color and light — soft terracottas, muted blues, and sun-washed facades that glow from morning to dusk.

To visit Campeche is to surrender to a slower, more refined rhythm. Mornings begin with golden light spilling across cobblestone streets and the distant sound of church bells. Afternoons are made for wandering through quiet plazas, discovering intimate courtyards, artisanal boutiques, and architecture that speaks of a rich and storied past. As the day fades, the Malecón becomes a stage for extraordinary sunsets, where the sky transforms into layers of amber, blush, and deep sapphire.

Beyond the city, the spirit of the Maya lingers in the surrounding landscapes, where ancient ruins rise from the jungle with an almost cinematic grandeur. Here, every experience feels curated by time itself — authentic, immersive, and profoundly memorable.

What sets Campeche apart is its understated sophistication. It offers the rare luxury of tranquility: space to breathe, to reconnect, and to experience Mexico through a lens of heritage, artistry, and timeless beauty.

Campeche is not merely a destination; it is an atmosphere — intimate, soulful, and effortlessly elegant. A place that stays with you long after you leave.

2 hours from Mérida. 4 hours from Cancún. Direct flights from Mexico City. Within reach of Edzná, Calakmul, and the Gulf coast.

Our Story

Built from a love for Campeche.

Casonas MX was born from a love story — one deeply intertwined with the city of Campeche itself.

Founded by Irma and Sebastien, a French-Mexican couple who have called Campeche home for over 21 years, the project began with a singular vision: to preserve the city's architectural heritage while sharing its beauty, history, and spirit with travelers from around the world.

Every property has been personally and thoughtfully curated with care and intention — from the weight of the linens to the music that softly welcomes you upon arrival. Our purpose extends far beyond the restoration of walls; it is about reviving the soul of each space and reimagining the art of inhabiting it with beauty, meaning, and a profound sense of belonging.

For Irma and Sebastien, Casonas MX is far more than a hospitality concept. It is a commitment to safeguarding Campeche's patrimony and celebrating the soul of a city they deeply love. Every curated house is approached with sensitivity and purpose, preserving architectural details, historical essence, and the unique atmosphere that makes each property a living part of Campeche's legacy.

Heritage

Design
