Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada

The most luxurious and centrally-located hotel in St Miguel de Allende, the historic Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada is a beautifully restored collection of 17th and 18th-century buildings with inner courtyards, fountains, terraces, and gardens. Here, history is woven into every stucco wall, tiled bath and all balanced with modern luxuries.

The exquisite air-conditioned rooms and suites are spacious with luxury bathrooms, a quarry stone fireplace free Wi-Fi, safe, king size beds, separate sitting area, mini-bar, and TV.

Public areas include a large pool, fringed with lush foliage and plants, providing the perfect place to cool off. The hotel has the best rooftop bar in San Miguel de Allende named after the official bird of Peru (the Tinki) with stunning views of the city. The restaurant offers the spirit of Mexico in its dining experiences in a softly lit courtyard of Andanza. Finally, the spa offers natural healing through a range of holistic beauty therapies in airy, colonial-style treatment rooms.

There is much to explore outside the hotel with a tour of San Miguel Market with the hotel’s chef, a guided tour of the city, cooking classes, art classes and workshops, and perhaps a visit to the city of Dolores, where Mexican independence began, and the ancient mining town of Pozos.

The rates are on a bed and breakfast basis.
