HotelChatter || San Miguel de Allende Hotel Guide: Dos Casas

Once again, HotelChatter contributing editor Tim Leffel is moving around Mexico, checking out the hotel scene in the colonial heartland. If you have a question about where to stay in Guanajuato or San Miguel de Allende, hit us on the tipline, or just comment below, and we will do our best to get you some sort of answer. Enjoy.

Dos Casas, on the site of what was once "two houses," shows that a place with only seven rooms and suites can still wow guests with the best of them. This elegant boutique hotel offers the most luxurious small hotel experience in a town overrun with beautiful inns: San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico.

Located three blocks from the Plaza Principal, it is run by an attentive staff that has gotten good at wearing different hats. Your bellhop may also bring you a cocktail later and the managers double as sommeliers and concierges. There are several rooms for lounging, a well-regarded restaurant, and a nice wine bar, but the big attractions are the impressive rooms.

The top choice is the three-level Casas Suite. It has its own private sauna and a whirlpool tub for two outside on the rooftop terrace. (See the killer view photo here for a taste.) The three master suites have a separate living room and private terrace, but even the three standards here are bigger than most hotels' junior suites, complete with a fireplace, sitting area, and desk.

All come with a long list of quality amenities: fluffy robes, huge baths with double vanities, L'Occitane en Provence toiletries, high-end mattresses, and flat panel TVs for a start. As we were happy to discover at many places in this area, "luxury hotel" and "free WiFi" are not mutually exclusive terms. There's also a public computer in one of the lounges with a printer for your boarding pass.

This stylish member of the Small Luxury Hotels group makes a San Miguel de Allende vacation more memorable, but with rates to match at $240 to $465 including taxes.
