"San Miguel de Allende’s hotels tend to highlight the city’s colonial-era charm, but Hotel Amparo adds a generous measure of cosmopolitan contemporary design to its hospitality cocktail. It’s set in a 300-year-old residence surrounding a verdant courtyard, and with just five expertly renovated rooms, it still retains some of the atmosphere of a private home — albeit one with a rooftop bar and Le Labo bath products." - Mark Fedeli
