JO&JOE Tulum will offer 300 beds with approximately 84 guest rooms, including 45 private rooms, 30 small dorms, 9 large dorms and a handful of suites, ideally catering to the lifestyle hostel experience which travellers continue to look for in Tulum.

JO&JOE Tulum will be part of a new mix-use development that will also house 12 retail outlets and a rooftop bar.
JO&JOE is a hybrid hospitality concept designed to meet the needs and expectations of millennials and global explorers who are optimistic, self-confident, and ambitious. JO&JOE combines the very best of traditional hotels with the features and friendliness of a youth hostel to offer a new shared accommodation experience for couples, families, friends on vacation or work colleagues traveling on business. JO&JOE is more stylish and comfier than traditional youth hostels, featuring affordable F&B and a range of events guided by cheerful staff, yet easier on the wallet than conventional hotels, making this hotel the first of its kind in Tulum.
Francois Leclerc, Deputy Brand COO of JO&JOE at Ennismore, said: “JO&JOE has landed in North America, and we’re excited to welcome our fans and guests to Tulum when we open our doors in 2024. JO&JOE’s ethos is about bringing people together – both international guests and locals – and creating a likeminded and free-spirited community based creative expression and sports. Tulum will be a great addition to the growing JO&JOE family.”
The hotel is conveniently situated on Avenue Coba Sur, located less than 2 km from the relaxing Tulum Beach with many water sports and outdoor activities and 3 km from bustling Downtown Tulum offering a plethora of options to enjoy live music, restaurants, souvenir shops, nightclubs and much more. Tulum is part of the Mayan Riviera in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, located a reasonable 118 km southwest of Cancun’s International airport. The town is reputed as bohemian fishing town with many historic and hippy chic establishments, making it the perfect location for JO&JOE which offers a unique lifestyle hostel experience that guests continue to look for in Tulum, but with the reliability and systems of Ennismore and Accor.
Lifestyle is one of the fastest-growing segments of the hospitality industry, and Ennismore is leading the way with its collective of 14 brands representing 103 operating hotels with a further 140+ in the pipeline and over 150 restaurants and bars.
