Hacienda Chichen boasts the most charming and comfortable accommodations available at Chichen Itza.

The cottages were originally the homes of archaeologists of the Carnegie Institute, who established their headquarters here in the 1920s.

Now extensively refurbished and recently redecorated, the original cottages are now delightful guest accommodations, with one or two suites to a cottage. They nestle in the landscaped gardens that include the plant collection of Edward Thompson, archaeologist and vice-consul to the United States.
