Thirty-seven rooms and suites are divided among six colonial mansions, and they’re all different, keeping to the floor plans of the original houses.
“Behind the building’s imposing wooden doors, a whole world unfurls. A dark entryway paved with worn stone leads to a bright, airy courtyard...”
“Or rent out a multi-bedroom private casa in San Miguel de Allende at the Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada, a stylish property laced with history…”
“a cluster of 17th- and 18th-century colonial heritage mansions, now luxury accommodation. Inside were dazzling inner courtyards with luscious greens”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone streets lead right from the doorstep to the artisanal craft market and the rose-pink towers of the Jardín Principal.
The rooms
Original colonial floor plans retain wood-beamed ceilings and fireplaces, while select suites add freestanding copper tubs and private plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool sits in Casa Palma’s courtyard, bordered by flowering bougainvillea and views toward historic church towers.
The spa
Laja Spa draws on Mexican botanicals and includes an outdoor temazcal sweat lodge. Garden lawns host morning yoga.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Tunki serves cocktails against sunset skyline views, and Andanza prepares regional Mexican dishes beneath courtyard stone arches.
Spread across several historic Spanish Colonial buildings on a picturesque street in the center of San Miguel de Allende, Casa de Sierra Nevada… combines the convenience of a big hotel with the feel of exclusive apartments.
How it began
Dating back to the sixteenth century, the restored mansions include a former archbishop residence and a seventeenth-century Spanish colonial fortress.
“inside Belmond’s Casa de Sierra Nevada hotel, where guests are served Mexican cuisine and mezcals in a courtyard overlooking the garden.”
