Review: Numu Boutique Hotel in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

"A design-forward boutique hotel that blends historic Mexican architectural details with contemporary luxury, the property showcases commissioned works by Mexican artists—textile sculptures, mojiganga puppets and a lobby sculpture inspired by nearby volcanoes and the region’s mining history. The 44 rooms and suites each have a private terrace or balcony and earthy, landscape-inspired color palettes; options range from a 409-square-foot king room to a 1,464-square-foot Presidential Suite with a private rooftop terrace, hot tub and views of the Parroquia. The property’s standout amenity is its rooftop pool—the only one in the historic downtown—lined with loungers and a garden and serviced by the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar; guests can also relax in a full-service spa with a relaxation room and red light sauna, use a well-equipped gym, or join curated activities such as food tours, cooking and mojiganga workshops. Practical touches include pet-friendly programming centered around the hotel dog Pancho, accessible features in one dedicated room (roll-in shower, strobe lights, lowered peephole and latch), sustainability measures like reusable water bottles, refill stations and a cistern for recycled water, complimentary valet parking, and easy walking access to downtown sights while remaining next to Parque Benito Juárez. The property is operated by a Mexican hospitality group and participates in major loyalty and booking programs; rates start around $450 per night (or a category-six World of Hyatt redemption)." - Taylor McIntyre Taylor McIntyre Taylor McIntyre is a senior visual editor at Dotdash Meredith, working on Travel + Leisure and TripSavvy.
