Morelia


Recently renamed and rebranded, this hotel's 26 rooms might be small but they are crammed with pomp and a sense of royalty, including ornately carved bedheads, chandeliers and bathrooms with alabaster details. There's also a lovely courtyard bar and restaurant. Front-facing rooms suffer from road noise despite the soundproofing, though the 'interior' rooms have no windows at all (pick your poison).
