Why it works

A former Spanish colonial manor turned luxury, design-centric hotel, Casa Hoyos is a 16-room gem located in San Miguel de Allende. As a four-generation family-owned hotel, the stay's operations date back to 1938.

Design & Character

The hotel itself is vibrant and unique, with Mexican design infused throughout. The interior design project–carried out by A-G Studio and led by designer Andrés Gutiérrez in collaboration with several Mexican designers and artisans–drew inspiration from the idea of a Spanish mansion where tradition and avant-garde coincide. Inside, guests will notice colorful tiles, eccentric furniture pieces, and sleek accents everywhere they look.
