Casa de Sierra Nevada, A Belmond Hotel, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Set in the artists’ haven of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico’s colonial highlands, Casa de Sierra Nevada occupies six Spanish colonial mansions linked by courtyard gardens dotted with fountains and flowerpots. Ideally positioned for exploring the city’s many sights, this boutique urban retreat spoils guests with gourmet cuisine, cooking classes, a secluded spa and Belmond’s signature five-star service.
DINING

Casa de Sierra Nevada’s innovative menus are infused with Mexican spirit. Award-winning Andanza is the most formal of the hotel’s two all-day gourmet restaurants, showcasing the finest local ingredients in a colonial-style setting with global dishes such as braised short rib and beans tamal. The other, Restaurante del Parque, invites you to tuck into seasonal Mexican fare in a tranquil inner courtyard dotted with cacti and agave trees.
Snuggle up by the roaring log fire at Blue Bar while listening to live jazz music, or head out onto the patio and watch life roll by on the town’s cobblestone streets. For a drink with a view, admire the breathtaking vistas from Tunki Rooftop, a stylish open-air bar serving Peruvian-inspired tapas and cocktails from celebrated local hangout Handshake.
ACTIVITIES
Adventures and Excursions
One of the hotel’s highlights is its fabulous location in San Miguel de Allende’s historic heart, a few minutes’ stroll from the city’s main attractions and thriving arts scene. Embark on a private tour through the downtown area with its baroque Spanish architecture and be sure to visit Pozos de Mineral, one of the region’s oldest mines, exploring abandoned buildings before descending into the mine shaft.
There’s a range of fun activities on offer back at base, from unleashing your creativity at a painting workshop to sampling local wine, tequila and mezcal in the wine cellar. The hotel also boasts an acclaimed cooking school, Sazón, where budding gourmands can study the bold flavours and rich history of regional Mexican cuisine before selecting the best ingredients at the local market and whipping up their own dishes.
Laja Spa
Named after the nearby Laja River, the secluded spa has just three treatment rooms where guests can indulge in holistic treatments using fragrant Mexican botanicals. Begin with a fragrant aromatherapy facial specially tailored to your skin type, before moving on to a soothing massage targeting specific areas of tension. When you’re finished, take a dip in the secluded garden pool before lying back on a lounger with a margarita in hand.
