More than a room

Experiences in San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel is walked, tasted and lived slowly. From our two houses in the historic center we build the stay around the reason you're traveling: to celebrate, to rest, to eat well, or simply to disappear for a weekend.

We don't sell rigid packages. Tell us what you have in mind and our concierge designs the San Miguel you actually want — real addresses, no rush.

Experiences in San Miguel de Allende

Romantic getaways

A suite with a tub for two, dinner in the center and the walk home under lantern light. San Miguel was made for walking as a couple — and our houses for coming back to.

Honeymoons and anniversaries

A suite set up for the occasion, the rooftop at sunset and recommendations built around you. Moments you don't forget deserve a house with a legend.

Book →
Food and wine

Market breakfasts, specialty coffee, chef-driven kitchens and historic cantinas: everything under ten minutes on foot from either casona. And inside Pila Seca, the Florios restaurant.

Cultural tours

Museums, galleries, baroque architecture and Fábrica La Aurora. A UNESCO World Heritage city, made to explore without a car.

The vineyard route

The Bajío is Mexico's new wine country. We arrange your visit to the vineyards nearby: a tasting, lunch among the vines and round-trip transport.

Wifi in every suite, quiet courtyards and corners where a laptop doesn't feel out of place. Work by day, live San Miguel by evening.

Traveling with your dog

We're pet friendly: your dog walks into both casonas with you. Tell us when you book and we'll have their arrival ready.

A slow weekend

Arrive Friday, plan nothing, let it happen. Sometimes the best itinerary is a soaking tub, a terrace and a beautiful city around it.

Clandestino just for You

The whole house, for your celebration

Some celebrations don't fit in a ballroom. With «Clandestino just for You» we hand one of our casonas over to your group: the courtyards, the suites, the terrace and the entire team devoted to a single occasion. No other schedules, no other guests, nobody else in the house.

We close the door and the house is yours: for one night, what's clandestine gets said out loud.
Buying out the house includes
  • Exclusive use of the casona for your event
  • Every suite available for your guests
  • Courtyards, terrace and common areas with no other guests
  • A tailored menu and bar, cooked with local produce
  • Coordination of setup, flowers and music
  • Next-morning breakfast included for everyone

Proposals

The terrace at sunset, the Parroquia behind you and nobody else in the house. We plan the moment with you down to the last detail — and we keep the secret.

ii.

Day-after wedding brunches

The morning after the wedding, with the people who actually stay. A long breakfast in the courtyards, sun, and the whole house for the couple and their inner circle.

iii.

Welcome dinners

The night before the wedding, so both families meet without protocol. Cocktails in the courtyard, an easy dinner, and everyone sleeping under the same roof.

iv.

Milestone birthdays

Round numbers deserve more than dinner: the entire casona, a menu built for you, and your guests sleeping where the party is.

v.

Retreats and offsites

Company gatherings, board meetings or creative retreats in a place that looks nothing like a conference room. Wifi, courtyards and silence to think in.

vi.

Intimate celebrations

Anniversaries, family reunions, or that date only your people understand. If it fits inside a San Miguel casona, we'll set it up.

Destination guide

Things to do in San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel de Allende, en el estado de Guanajuato, es Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO y ha sido nombrada varias veces la mejor ciudad del mundo por los lectores de Travel + Leisure. Se camina entera, y desde el centro tienes absolutamente todo a minutos.

Por qué visitar San Miguel de Allende

Fundada en el siglo XVI, la ciudad conserva su traza colonial intacta: calles empedradas, fachadas de cantera y una vida cultural que no se detiene en todo el año. Su clima templado la hace disfrutable en cualquier temporada y su escala humana la vuelve ideal para recorrerla a pie, sin necesidad de coche.

Qué ver en el Centro Histórico

  • La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, ícono neogótico de cantera rosa.
  • El Jardín Principal, corazón de la ciudad a toda hora.
  • La Fábrica La Aurora, antigua textil convertida en centro de arte.
  • Museos, galerías y El Mirador para la mejor panorámica al atardecer.
"Lo clandestino no se anuncia: se descubre. Y San Miguel se descubre caminando."

Dónde comer en San Miguel de Allende

De cafés de especialidad y desayunos de mercado a cocina de autor con reconocimiento internacional. Desde cualquiera de nuestras casonas, los mejores lugares están a menos de diez minutos caminando.

Cómo moverte por la ciudad

La respuesta corta: a pie. El Centro Histórico es compacto y hospedarte dentro de él significa no usar el coche una sola vez. Los aeropuertos de Querétaro (AIQ, 1 h) y del Bajío (BJX, 1 h 30) son las puertas de entrada más cómodas.

Mejor época para visitar

La ciudad vale la pena todo el año: primavera por las jacarandas, septiembre por las fiestas patrias y la Alborada, e invierno por su cielo despejado.

Dónde hospedarte

Para vivir San Miguel de verdad, duerme dentro del Centro Histórico. Clandestino Hotel son dos casonas boutique —Hotel Recreo con rooftop y Hotel Pila Seca con patios, arte, Spa y el restaurante Florios— a minutos de todo lo anterior. Pet friendly, con desayuno y valet parking incluidos en la tarifa.
