San Miguel de Allende Hotels & Accomodations

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 | Hotel Accommodations

San Miguel de Allende still holds a reputation for being a lesser-known town, when held up to its peers – Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Guadalajara, Cancun and Cozumel. It’s true that San Miguel de Allende attracts less tourists (primarily because it’s inland and tucked away from the beach culture); however, Americans, Europeans and Canadians who stay in Sam Miguel de Allende accommodations often decide to stay. The cost of living in Mexico allows many middle class Americans the ability to live a richer lifestyle, hiring maids, gardeners, cooks, dining out more often, paying cash for a mortgage and paying less for medication, food and activities.

What San Miguel de Allende lacks in beaches, it makes up for in history, architecture and culture. Distinguished as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2008, most of the city has been protected from chain restaurants, skyscrapers and developmental exploitation. The winding alleyways, cobblestone streets, fertile gardens, stucco buildings, colonial architecture, French park benches and laurel trees create an Old World ambiance that’s hard not to fall in love with.

Unlike some locales where you need to hop in a cab and drive 20 minutes to the city pulse, San Miguel de Allende hotels are primarily situated just steps from the El Jardín central square. Here visitors will see the towering Gothic spires of La Parroquia, the town’s historic pastel pink basilica. They’ll be treated to shops, cafés, strolling minstrels, festival activities, concerts, parades and other exciting events in this scenic community meeting place.

Choosing the right San Miguel de Allende accommodation can be difficult because every option is so good! For the budget traveler, there are clean, friendly and social hostels for as low as $10/night. Bed and breakfasts flourish in San Miguel de Allende, offering luxurious bedroom suites and unparalleled homemade food. All San Miguel de Allende hotels have less than 57 rooms (except for one), offering a more private stay. The Casa de Sierra Nevada is an international home comprised of nine colonial homes and will soon include a full-service spa. Oasis, Dos Casas, Casa Quetzal, La Puertecita and Casa Linda have all been touted by travel magazines like Conde Nast Traveler, as well as Travel+Leisure.

Accommodations San Miguel de Allende offers most housing in or near the downtown historic district. Some colonial luxury estates are listed beyond $1 million. However, just outside the main square, there are plenty of nice homes for less than $100,000 and rents for $300/month. New developments like the luxury Rosewood Artesana San Miguel de Allende hotel and residences offer amenities like concierge services, gated access, underground parking, spas, recreational centers and on-site San Miguel de Allende accommodations.

Speaking of San Miguel de Allende restaurants, visitors can indulge in Italian cuisine at Ristorante Da Andrea, homestyle Mexican at El Ten Ten Pie, tamarind margaritas at La Posadita, sandwiches at El Pegaso, hamburgers at Olivers, sweet churros at Café San Agustin, fajitas at Restaurant Ole Ole, health food at El Tomato or French-Mex at La Brasserie.

San Miguel de Allende has a lot to offer, whether it be for a relaxing vacation or a more permanent stay.
