Hotel Amparo

Top choice in San Miguel de Allende


This sublime hotel set in a painstakingly restored building pleases anyone lucky enough to snag a room, each of which is wildly different. You want classic colonial lines? They can do that. Or perhaps you prefer one with a more modern jazzy pop style? The uniting factor is all have had care and thought lavished upon them.

The rooms are set around a series of small courtyards complete with fountains and pools, and from the roof terrace there are gorgeous city views. Don't forget to have a predinner cocktail at the delightful, time-warp bar (open to nonguests). Service is friendly and efficient.
