Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Morning light slips over terracotta rooftops and church spires, and the air smells faintly of copal and bougainvillea. 

Set steps from the cobblestone heart of San Miguel, Rosewood San Miguel de Allende is an intimate hideaway of 67 rooms and suites, where Spanish-colonial courtyards meet contemporary Mexican design. 

Think hand-hewn stone, flickering lanterns, and a rooftop terrace that frames La Parroquia like a painting.

What Makes It Special

• Historic soul, modern polish: Colonial-style architecture blended with refined, design-forward interiors.
• Rooftop dining & sunsets: A bell-tower skyline and painterly golden hours.
• Serene spa & gardens: Local botanicals, hot-stone rituals, and jacaranda-shaded paths.
• Art & craft touchpoints: Regional textiles, talavera, and curated pieces throughout.
• Boutique scale: 67 keys for a truly residential feel.

A Day at Rosewood

Morning

Wake to church bells and the scent of pan dulce. On the terrace: papaya, lime, and café de olla while hummingbirds skim the lavender.

Afternoon

Meander to the ateliers and galleries nearby, then return for a blue-agave massage at the spa. By the pool, order aguachile bright with cilantro and lime; a warm mountain breeze stirs the bougainvillea.

Evening

Climb to the rooftop as the sky turns coral. Sip a smoky mezcal while La Parroquia blushes in the last light; dinner is wood-grilled ribeye with roasted nopales and salsa tatemada.

Night

Courtyard lanterns glow; your room is all soft textiles and cool stone. Slip into bed as distant guitar strings drift through the night.
