Hacienda El Santuario

0 1 2 3 4

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. With around 30 guest rooms, a restaurant, picturesque patio gardens and terraces alive with bourgainvillea, it’s an inviting retreat to watch the world go by between exploring timeless cobblestone streets and art galleries. Hacienda El Santuario has been praised in Condé Nast Traveller as one of the top 10 best hotels in Mexico.
