Despite being less than a decade old, Rosewood San Miguel cleverly captures the historical essence of the city with its warm terracotta hues, colonial-style arches, stone colonnades and intricate ironwork. Inside, the ancient splendour is offset with contemporary art, polished floors and spacious rooms and suites designed with elegant dark wood furnishings and balconies and terraces overlooking the courtyard or hills surrounding the city.
Guests can brush up on their backhand on the clay tennis courts, take part in art and cooking classes, or unfurl under a shady cabana by the large central swimming pool. The hotel's signature restaurant, 1826, serves a boldly locavore menu of innovative Mexican cuisine, and on the roof, there's laidback tapas bar Luna, which offers spectacular 360-degree views of the city.
