Why It Matters
Award-winning design hotel and Tablet Hotels selection. One of the few true design boutiques in downtown Playa del Carmen with a proper rooftop pool overlooking the ocean — not a resort, not an all-inclusive, just 20 well-designed rooms and a strong F&B program.
Marquee Playa is a 20-room adults-only boutique hotel in the heart of Playa del Carmen, taking its design cues from Hollywood's golden age — monochrome portraits and film stills on the walls, a mostly minimalist interior with flashes of Art Deco throughout. Two blocks from the beach and half a block from 12th Street's nightlife strip, it sits right in the thick of the action. But the small scale and soundproofed rooms keep things feeling private, and the rooftop pool has proper ocean and skyline views to back it up.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Deluxe Two Queens
The largest of the standard rooms at 355 sq ft, designed for friends or pairs who want extra bed space. Two queen beds, a stand-alone rain shower, private terrace with outdoor seating. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling noise-reducing windows, blackout curtains, and dimmable mood lighting.
Two Queen BedsMarquee Suite
The top room in the house at 435 sq ft. One king bed, a bathroom with double sinks, rain shower, and a soaking tub, plus a separate entertaining area complete with a luxe drink cart and cocktail shaker set. Some units come with partial ocean views. The glass-open shower layout flows into the bedroom — best suited for couples.
KingSuperior King
320 sq ft of clean-lined, Hollywood-glam design. One king bed, a stand-alone rain shower, and a private terrace. Same high-spec finish as the two queens — think floor-to-ceiling windows, soundproofing, and dimmable lighting — just optimized for couples.

Playa del Carmen's main beach is approximately 300m from the hotel — a 5-minute walk. No private beach or beach club access is included, but the proximity makes it very easy.
The rooftop pool sits atop the hotel with panoramic views of the Playa del Carmen skyline and the Caribbean Sea. Open for sunbathing and swimming by day; the adjacent bar makes it a good spot for sunset cocktails.
Half a block from the famous 12th Street nightlife strip and a short walk from Coco Bongo. The hotel's location makes it one of the most convenient bases in Playa del Carmen for evening entertainment.
