A chic casa in Central Mexico’s San Miguel
The old world and new are in perfect harmony at La Valise San Miguel de Allende, a boutique hotel that feels part hacienda and part Aztec temple. Once through the ‘moon door’ and inside the inner sanctum, discover a secret Zen garden sheltered by lemon trees, and stone stairways and walls carved with ancient geometric patterns and symbols. Here, life slows – and time seems to stand still.
There’s a contemporary edge to La Valise San Miguel too. A 21st-century interpretation of ancient style, courtesy of artist Pedro Friedeberg, is the calling card of the suites. There are just a handful, upping the exclusive feel of this tucked away retreat. Beautifully crafted furnishings, textiles and carefully appointed objets d’art make each space chic and characterful. Some come with antique or spa tubs and cosy fireplaces. Others promise views over San Miguel’s square, cathedral or the hotel garden.

No two stays at La Valise San Miguel are the same. From here, you can walk in the footsteps of explorers and immerse yourself in Guanajuato. Hike or horse ride through canyons, prairies and rivers, stopping at a local ranch to eat – with spectacular views at sunset. Follow a spa therapy with a dip into this region’s hot springs. Or experience the finer things in life on a vineyard tour, where grape vines, lavender fields and olive groves stretch in every direction. Then there are hot air balloon flights, ATV rides, archaeological trails, guided city tours… Be sure to pack walking shoes – and a camera.
