Sahit Muja Best Hotels in Mexico

Ten stunning hotels, whether you want a vacation in the city or by the sea.

Casa de Sierra Nevada, San Miguel de Allende

Rank 1

Las Mañanitas, Cuernavaca

Situated 90 minutes by car from Mexico City in a town with a springlike climate year-round, this “enchanting hacienda” and gardens were built in 1955 on grounds where “lovely but loud peacocks” roam freely. Suites have wood beams and tile floors; some have fireplaces, others covered terraces. Dinner in the alfresco restaurant—where sopa de tortilla and oxtail stew are among the many traditional dishes—is “an experience not to be forgotten.” “Staff ensure that everything is flawless.”

Rank 2

La Casa Que Canta, Zihuatanejo

Replete with terra-cotta walls and thatched roofs, this complex of multi-tiered adobe dwellings on a cliff above Zihuatanejo is “outstanding in every sense”: The cascading architecture takes advantage of the contours of the “breathtaking rocky setting.” Rooms have petal-strewn bedspreads, Mexican folk art, and oversized pink marble showers. Staff are so good “all hotel chain owners should come for a week to see the Nordstrom of service.” Enjoy daiquiris at the bar at sunset before taking a dip in the saltwater pool and the adjoining whirlpool by the sea.
