After sunset a glowing red fire continues to shine brightly from inside of Reina Roja, a brand new concept hotel in Playa del Carmen. Much like the mystery surrounding the whereabouts of this famous pre-Columbian queen's bones, whom the hotel was named after, "The Red Queen" also has a unique allure.
From the outside, the structure projects a contemporary, experimental architecture with each themed suite simulating a suspended single cube. A closer looks reveals a modern restaurant and lounge on the ground floor with a roof deck offering 360-degree views of the city. One step inside you'll want to order a cocktail and go for an exploration.
This boutique hotel utilizes the area's natural resources like locally forged hardwoods for the interior and furniture, and Playa's beautiful blue water for its dipping pools in the lobby and on the roof. The décor is truly Mexico, but modernized with industrial details and themed suites. Stimulating your senses in new ways, the atmosphere is so one-of-a-kind that it'll wake up your curiosity.
Keeping the atmosphere lively are the sexily clad mannequins. In the restaurant, she won't be without a drink, and neither should you. Enjoy a glass of local or South American wine, or a cocktail, and then stay for dinner. Hearty salads, homemade pastas, riffs on Asian food, and a classic sirloin burger are sure to appease even the savviest traveler. With 24/7 restaurant service plus all the amenities of all-inclusive hotels, Reina Roja is truly a playful escape without the bracelet.
