Two casonas · Historic center · San Miguel de Allende

Our hotels in San Miguel de Allende

Two restored casonas a few streets from the Parroquia and El Jardín. Twenty-one suites between them, and only one decision to make: what you came for.

Recreo is the more central one — rooftop, domes and the heart of the city four minutes away on foot. Pila Seca is the quieter one — courtyards, a spa and a silence you're grateful for when you come back. Same Clandestino, two ways to live San Miguel.

Two casonas, one soul

Our Hotels

Clandestino Hotel is a contemporary colonial boutique hotel spread across two casonas in the historic center of San Miguel de Allende. Together they hold twenty-one suites and share the same idea: intimate rooms, quiet, design, and the whole city on foot. The Recreo house is INAH-listed as a protected property more than a hundred years old.

Recreo #31 Hotel Recreo

Hotel Recreo

Recreo #31 · Col. Centro · one block from El Jardín

On the picturesque Calle Recreo, the old casona and its annex hold eight suites where you'll find comfort, design and, unmistakably, a bit of legend. It's the more central of the two houses: walk out the door and four minutes later you're standing in front of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel.

Its rooftop terrace is one of those places you don't forget — sunsets with the domes and towers of the city within arm's reach. Ideal for couples who want to live San Miguel fully without touching a car.

Hotel Pila Seca

Pila Seca #2 · Col. Centro · three blocks from El Jardín

Fresh and elegant, Pila Seca has it all: an oasis where you recharge in any of its thirteen generous suites, steps from everything San Miguel has to offer.

It's the quieter house — courtyards, reading corners, soaking tubs for long afternoons, and a colonial calm that makes time walk slower. Perfect if you're after real rest without giving up the location.

The usual question

Which house is yours?

There's no wrong answer: they're five minutes apart and share the same spirit. But each casona has its own character.
