Consider this our good deed for February. If you haven’t yet planned a spring getaway to replenish your vitamin D stores, you may want to check out Casa Pueblo, a design-focused, hacienda-style hotel that opened last January in Tulum. In addition to its Instagram-worthy architecture, appealing minimalist interiors, and intimate size, the hotel boasts affordable rates; when we checked April dates recently, a room with a king bed was $180 per night, and with a queen bed, $150.
Let’s take a tour.

Above: The 16-room hotel, founded by Derek Klein, features an abundance of open-air public spaces, including a rooftop terrace and this lounge area on the ground floor. Above: Built-in day beds in the lounge area. Both the hotel’s pueblo-inspired architecture and minimalist interior design are by Klein and Mike Moser. Note the seamless hand-sculpted sconce by artist Justin James. Above: Casa Pueblo is situated in downtown Tulum, about a 15-minute bike ride from the public beach, yet it gives off a restful vibe thanks to well-placed tropical greenery. Above: Two stories of rooms surround the atrium. Windows feature slatted wooden shutters. Above: The view from the top floor to the checkerboard tiles on the ground floor. Above: Soft morning light on the public stairs. Plaster walls lend the hotel a rustic, organic look. Above: Casa Pueblo’s ethos of natural minimalism continues in the guest rooms. Above: No plastic water bottles here. Awaiting guests are reusable glass bottles of Casa del Agua water (filtered and packaged in Mexico City). Above: Each guest bathroom has hand-sculpted, polished concrete sinks and walk-in rain showers. Above: The pool, with the hotel’s open-air restaurant just beside it.
