Our Criteria for A Great Hotel
We searched through the hotels on Booking.com and Expedia.com and walked around the city several times to find the best hotels in San Miguel for you. We chose this list based on the following:
- location
- bed size
- room size
- reviews
- air conditioning (this is important between April and September).
Because of the narrow streets and very limited parking spaces, we did not choose parking as a prerequisite, though we do mention if parking is available.
All the hotels listed below are within 1 kilometer (less than a mile) of the Parroquia, the big pink church in the middle of San Miguel de Allende. From the Parroquia, you can walk to other churches, the Mercado, the Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramírez El Nigromante art school, and Parque Benito Juarez. We chose hotels 1 km or less from the historical center because most people are not used to walking cobblestoned hills at 6000 ft. elevation.
Note: If you are a light sleeper and want a soundproof hotel, you will need to venture further out than one kilometer.
Casalinda San Miguel
This re-purposed hacienda exudes the charm of the 17th century. Wood-beamed ceilings, a central courtyard, and just a few hundred feet from the main sites, Casalinda San Miguel is in the heart of the city. The front desk is open 24-hours a day to help you with any room, restaurant, or tour reservations.
Villa Mirasol
Located on Pila Seca, Villa Mirasol is close to the centro historico without being “in” it. It’s close to the neighborhood of San Antonio where they have excellent street art and boutique cafes. Villa Mirasol offers large rooms with high ceilings, beautiful archways throughout, breakfast, and an airport transfer option (make reservations).
Hotel Mesones 49
If you prefer a more modern touch, Hotel Mesones 49 is the answer. It incorporates a touch of charm like dark wood doors and high ceilings into their more contemporary rooms. Situated between the Parroquia and the Plaza Civica by the mercado, you couldn’t ask for a better location. Hotel Mesones 49 offers a 24-hour front desk, breakfast, and a shuttle to and from the airport. As an extra bonus, it also offers free parking and pet friendly rooms.
Hotel Madi
For the price, luxury, and location, Hotel Madi can’t be beat. Several of our tour clients have stayed here, and rave about the service and rooms. Hotel Madi features a bar, a small pool on the rooftop, and less than a 5-minute walk to the mercado. This makes it the perfect hotel for shoppers! Airport transport is available and they do state that they are LGBTQ friendly.
Casa Mia Suites
Feel like you are living in San Miguel at Casa Mia Suites. Their 16 fully furnished suites complete with kitchen, living room, separate bedroom, and tiled bathroom. Some rooms have a terrace overlooking the garden or city. The 24-hour front desk is available for any questions or help with reservations and airport transfer is available.
Casa Liza
Casa Liza has all the modern conveniences with the perfect touches of 19th century and Moorish charm. Situated on a hill near Juarez Park, the hotel is surrounded by a wall with a large parking area and grassy courtyard. Some of the rooms have kitchenettes and fireplaces. We have personally stayed at Casa Liza and enjoyed the quietness and hummingbirds in the evenings.

Hotel Boutique Tres Fuentes
You may not want to leave Hotel Boutique Tres Fuentes. Every inch of this place exudes Mexican colonial charm. From it’s wood-beamed ceilings to its arched windows overlooking a garden with fountains, you’ll think you stepped back in time. Tres Fuentes offers an American breakfast, room service, airport transfer, and currency exchange.
Casa Cien Hilos
Casa Cien Hilos is another option for those that like a more contemporary stay with natural elements. Remote workers who are traveling particularly like this one because there is a desk in the room, 24-hour front desk service, and a business center in the hotel. Casa Cien Hilos is in an ideal location between the Parroquia and Parque Juarez.
Casa Andreu
This hotel may not go overboard with the “colonial charm”, but Casa Andreu rates high in comfort and location. It’s a 3-minute walk to the Parroquia, and to the Templo de la Purísima Concepción. Plus it has a rooftop terrace to watch all the firework displays at night. For those traveling with children, or more than two people, family rooms are available.
Casa de la Noche
Casa de la Noche is a community within itself. Many of the people who stay at Casa de la Noche return again and again. From solo travelers to retirees and yoga retreats, this place will feel like home. Rooms are clustered around different shared kitchens and lounges, which makes it ideal for workshops and larger families while still offering a private setting. The owners are very active in the community if you want to see or do something special. Breakfast, parking, and airport transfer are available.
