The Ritz Carlton Cancun
Overlooking the beach and the Caribbean Sea on a quiet side street six km (about four mi) from Cancun's entertainment center, this hotel includes antiques and polished Italian marble. |
An elegant ambience of Italian marble, brocade upholstery, gilt-frame paintings, tapestries, and antiques; exceptional dining, and discreet, personalized hospitality satisfy discriminating guests. An atrium garden featuring a sea-green Mayan-style sculpture and a stained-glass ceiling contributes a tropical note.
