The Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort has debuted on the coastline of picturesque Riviera Maya. The 715-room property is the latest entry into Hilton’s growing portfolio of all-inclusive offerings, which added four other outposts earlier this year. Nestled behind a mangrove nature preserve, the resort was crafted by SB Architects to pay homage to Mexican heritage through a lens of modern sophistication.
“With an ephemeral connection to nature through the use of modern lines, repetitive patterns, and undulating forms that mimic the sea, the design encourages the use of natural sensory stimuli and biophilia to support wellness, emotional engagement, and restoration,” says Stefano Falbo, associate principal and vice president of SB Architects. “Keeping with the natural setting whilst introducing the brands’ signature of contemporary luxury, the site is an elegant oasis that guides guests on an exclusive journey of cultural immersion.”
Boundaries between the indoors and outdoors are blurred across the Hilton Cancun, where strong lines and a pared-back aesthetic complements a comprehensive sense of flow. Classic Mexican materials are blended with modern technology, while filtered lighting contrasts solid elements and a muted palette to create a subtle interplay of light and shadow.
Expansive outdoor amenities are also available, including dual oceanfront pools, an amphitheater, and private beaches. Among a dozen F&B options, highlights include Mexican concept Maxal, experiential open-grill option Auma, and Southeast Asian eatery Sunan, which were designed by Paulina Moran, Ezequiel Farca, and Esrawe, respectively.
Accommodations were designed by HBA San Francisco to showcase local artistry and convey understated elegance. Contrasting shapes and layers of unexpected texture abound across each chamber. Select suites even boast furnished balconies, living and dining spaces, and swim-up patios.
