Just checked in to the legendary Belmar Hotel in Mazatlán, Mexico. One reviewer called it “Haunting and Charming”.
The Belmar, built 1906, was the first resort hotel in Mazatlan. And our favourite when Hemmingway and I came down to fish and hunt back in the 1930s.
It’s true the Belmar has seen brighter days. But the ghosts of early Hollywood celebrities still prowl the marble hallways at night.
US$26 / single for a large clean, quiet room with air conditioning and, unfortunately, TV. (That’s the only downside.) Free wireless internet, how about that, Ernest!
