A gem in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, one of Mexico’s most alluring colonial cities, Hacienda Santuario brims with atmosphere. Adorned with hundreds of items of folk art, vibrant fabrics and artefacts, this intimate boutique hotel is unmistakably Mexican in flavour.

Hacienda El Santuario has been praised in Condé Nast Traveller as one of the top 10 best hotels in Mexico.
