Villa Mirasol Hotel

Villa Mirasol Hotel looks rather ordinary from the street, but once inside the hotel is colorful and cozy, with tranquil courtyards that are filled with green plants and bright flowers. Dating back to 1900, it has traditional colonial-style accents and a warm color scheme throughout. Guests can take a quiet break in one of the Spanish-style terraces, lined with lush green plants and shady seating areas. Breakfast is served out on the main terrace, which is a lovely spot to start the day. The hotel mostly attracts couples due to its tranquil and romantic atmosphere, though some families also stay here.

This hotel is located on the edge of San Miguel de Allende's historic center, less a 10-minute walk from most attractions. It's a five-minute walk from the main cathedral, Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel, and its buzzing square that's ringed by impressive Baroque and neo-classical architecture. Other attractions within walking distance include Parque Juarez, The Temple of Immaculate Conception, and the Historic Museum of San Miguel de Allende. Despite being close to the city center, it's just far enough away keep nights tranquil. There are a few eateries and shops in the immediate area, plus a restaurant across the street with live entertainment. The golf course at Ventanas de San Miguel is around a 15-minute drive from the hotel. The city of Guanajuato is about an hour away by car, while Guanajuato International Airport is roughly a one-hour-and-45-minute drive.

Guests should note that the steps outside are steep and narrow, so those with mobility issues might like to request a ground-floor room.
