All about Casa Tho Concept House in Mérida, Mexico

Casa Tho is one of the most beautiful places to buy, eat and drink in Mérida and has a prime location just a few steps from the Remate de Paseo de Montejo. It is showcasing contemporary Mexican fashion and design and you should definitely stop by.

Opened in October 2017, Casa Tho includes 10 boutiques, a restaurant (you could also call it a cafe), and an small art gallery - housed in a very beautiful former early nineteenth century colonial mansion.

Occasional events are held, such as a jazz night (check the website for a calendar of events). Does the name sound familiar to you? Casa Tho is named after the old Mayan name of Merida, which is T’hō.

In addition to its own website, you can also find Casa T´HŌ on Facebook and Instagram.

Boutiques and Art Gallery

Similar to Art Gallery Caracol Purpúra, the individually designed boutiques and art gallery are arranged around a central courtyard and merge directly into each other (separated by doors).

Just like at Caracol Purpúra, you can relax in the courtyard, sipping a cup of coffee under the shade of towering palm trees while soaking in the soothing atmosphere of the pristine white interior.

Most of the boutiques are really very small, some with only one table in the middle on which goods are draped. But the same design concept runs through every single boutique and it's also fun to just look at all the things.

The boutiques offer fashion, signature jewelry, perfume, art, furnishings, stylized linen clothing, house decor, homeware and handicrafts. The Art Gallery Galeria Urbana displays Mexican art (paintings and sculptures).

The selection in all the stores is exquisite rather than cluttered, and the price level, like the ambience, is of course a bit upscale. And I have the impression that the average visitors are also somewhat more sophisticated.

Restaurant T'HŌ Aperitivo

Casa Tho offers you the perfect blend of upscale shopping and a relaxing atmosphere. As you explore its boutique stores, you can take a moment to unwind with a delicious meal or a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

The setting is elegant and inviting, making it an ideal place to linger a little longer, whether you're pausing between shops or savoring the experience afterward. If you appreciate spaces that seamlessly combine style and comfort, I highly recommend spending some time here.

While this is common in shopping centers, there are not so many stores in the city center that make this possible. This is one of the things that makes Casa Tho so charming. In fact, we are more likely to come for lunch or a coffee than to go shopping.

Restaurant T'HŌ Aperitivo invites you to enjoy a unique dining experience where Yucatecan flavors meet the charm of a cozy courtyard setting. This space is a blend of restaurant, bar, and café, offering a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.

With just a few tables under the open sky, the intimate setting makes every visit feel special. The menu is small but thoughtfully curated, featuring dishes like salmon carpaccio and pasta with shrimp, each prepared with a touch of gourmet flair.

If you are looking for a place to unwind and savor the essence of Mérida, I recommend taking a moment to explore this hidden gem a few steps from the Remate de Paseo de Montejo.
