LOtel-Casa Arca

Location: The hotel is strategically located in San Miguel de Allende, with shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Guests appreciate its proximity to the main square and local venues, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city.

Elegant and somewhat large (23 rooms +/-) boutique property well-located 1/2 block off main plaza on a car-free but vibrant road. Staff very accommodating, rooms spotless and beautifully furnished, and the food and food service throughout the hotel nothing short of spectacular. The included breakfasts in the (often chilly) lobby dining room were some of the best meals we enjoyed throughout the city during our 6-night stay. Don't miss the rooftop bar and dining spot. Great views, and if it's chilly up there, they'll instantly provide a heat lamp and lap blankets. Cozy and charming. The mesquite bar in the back of the lobby is worth your time as well; we enjoyed the flight of mescals and the robust conversation with the bar manager there one evening. All five nights we didn't eat in the hotel we dined impeccably well within walking distance - a variety of food options at all price points. Great shopping steps away. We enjoyed two guided walking tours during our stay that we had arranged on our own - one food centric and the other more culturally and historically centered. We loved absorbing the architecture of the city (don't miss the fact that the hotel itself is beautifully architecturally preserved - new melded in to ancient. We also enjoyed seeking our hole-in-the-wall coffee spots throughout the city. Great vibes all the way around. We felt safe everywhere we ventured. This hotel and city work for any age group - just get out there and explore. San Miguel and Casa Arca both highly recommended.

It took sometime to locate the hotel email, once I did locate it, the hotel team were really helpful. There is a basic steamer in the room, but an iron is available at reception. Hair stylist is also available by request. The breakfasts were excellent and they cater for vegetarian. The hotel operates a strict 3 pm room access and 12 depart. They will store luggage. There are two sides to the hotel. In the road side you can hear the town. In the other you can hear noisy pool users. There are different standards of rooms and the costs reflect this. Our room was perfect, extra large bed which was really comfortable. Turn down service. Bath tub (a real one) and walk in shower plus twin sinks. Hairdryer. fridge. Safe. Complementary water each day. Very close to shops and to the centre where everything’s happening. Breakfast is included. Service is not, the staff will pursue you if you do not give them 10% tip in pesos every breakfast, every meal or drink order. ATMs very close by. pharmacy also very close by.
