Amazing pre- and post-cruise accommodation options.
MEXICO IS CELEBRATED FOR THE VIBRANCY of its culture, and Rosewood San Miguel de Allende has made sharing that culture its mission. This luxury boutique hotel embraces the legacy of artists like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo — along with local, living creators keeping the tradition alive.
Rosewood is a kind of microcosm of its home city, with some of the best restaurants and attractions under its own roof — or, in the case of the Luna tapas bar, on top of the roof itself. The signature restaurant, 1826, has indoor and outdoor seating with a menu based on a garden- to- table concept. The guestroom ceilings feature wood beams and furnishings crafted by gifted Mexican artisans. _ Though it might look at first like a refined hacienda, there is nothing rustic about this sophisticated hotel’s accommodations. Rosewood boasts 67 guest rooms and suites and, for those who want to call the place home, seven private residences. In addition to laundry and valet services, Rosewood offers twice- daily housekeeping, valet parking in an underground garage, private airport transfers, and Clefs d’Or concierge service.
_ The 1826 tequila bar is celebrated for its elegance and serves cocktails, appetizers, and a vast collection of tequilas and mezcals. For a more intimate evening, La Cava is a private dining room that offers sumptuous meals surrounded by the hotel’s wine collection. The Rosewood Lawn boasts unrivaled views of La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel, the impressive neo- Gothic church.
There’s a spa, fitness center, four outdoor pools, Rose Buds children’s club, and — of special note — enrichment programs that range from culinary classes and wine tastings to creative-art workshops that inspire visitors to express themselves in new and exciting ways.
_ Rosewood is located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, a city that is itself nestled in the heart of Mexico’s central highlands, about 45 miles southeast of Leon, 400 miles east of Puerto Vallarta, and 400 miles north of Acapulco. The hotel is adjacent to Parque Benito Juarez and a short stroll from the historic town center, where Mexico’s insurgent army declared independence from Spain in 1810.
That historic legacy — and the subsequent contributions of artists like Stirling Dickinson, José Chávez Morado, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — led UNESCO to declare the city a World Heritage Site. Beyond the narrow cobblestoned lanes and role in the country’s past, the city is famous for its 2,000 courtyards, each with colorful windows and doors painted in yellow, orange, and ochre shades and framed with swirling ironwork and rustic hewn wood.
If your recent cruise to Mexico left you wanting even more, then go back for a visit even deeper into the heart of the country and discover all the elegance it has to offer.
