Rosewood San Miguel de Allende

“A very special hotel located in the heart of San Miguel, the restaurants and views are spectacular. The property is wonderful for both families or couples,” summed up one reader who helped secure this San Miguel de Allende icon the top spot. Located in Zona Centro, the hotel is within walking distance of the Jardin Allende, Parque Benito Juárez, and the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel.

And when it comes to accommodations, the 67 rooms, suites, and private residences are reminiscent of a historic hacienda, with hand-carved wood and beamed ceilings, as well as French windows that open to terraces.

The hotel’s unique on- and off-site offerings are what take service over the top. Guests can immerse themselves in the local culture with cooking classes and tequila tastings, as well as workshops like Mojigangas workshops and painting classes. At the end of a day exploring, indulge in a cocktail in the moody, elegant 1826 Tequila Bar or drink in the sweeping views of San Miguel’s rooftops from Luna Rooftop.

One reader called it the “best hotel in Mexico,” stating “There’s nothing like it. I truly loved everything starting with the food, but the real beauty of this hotel is the aesthetic of it.”
