"An exceptional hotel in the heart of San Miguel, with amazing restaurants and stunning views," wrote a reader, helping this San Miguel de Allende landmark secure the top spot. Situated in Zona Centro, it’s close to Jardin Allende, Parque Benito Juárez, and the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. The 67 rooms, suites, and private residences feature historic hacienda-style decor with hand-carved wood, beamed ceilings, and French windows opening to terraces.

What truly elevates the service are the unique activities, both on-site and off-site. Guests can engage in local culture through cooking classes, tequila tastings, or workshops like Mojigangas and painting. After a day of exploration, enjoy a cocktail at the atmospheric 1826 Tequila Bar or soak in the panoramic views from Luna Rooftop.

One reader described it as "the best hotel in Mexico," praising the food and the stunning aesthetic, saying "there's nothing like it."
