"This 32-room hotel may appear traditional, thanks to its colonial facade—but the sleek Hotel Matilda is anything but. There’s a crazy video installation set up behind the front desk, and the hallways are lined with contemporary artwork; and once you get to your room, you’ll discover crisp white beds dressed with Egyptian cotton linens and slate gray accents. Photographs by Mexico City artist Eduardo Zaylan hang on the walls in guest rooms. Marble-clad bathrooms have Malin + Goetz products, and some have free-standing tubs, though the infinity pool (shaded by palm trees) and the rooftop bar are the true standouts. If you’re looking for a boisterous party scene, this isn’t it, but for a slick, adults-only auberge, you can’t do much better."

"Located in the central Mexican highlands, the peaceful town of San Miguel de Allende enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a relaxing yet cosmopolitan destination. A longtime home for young artists on the rise and expatriates of all ages, it’s the kind of place that’s full of chic throwbacks to the Spanish Colonial aesthetic. Opened in late 2010, Hotel Matilda bucks the local trend by hewing closer to the design of a big-city boutique while still paying homage to San Miguel’s artistic heritage." - Tablet Hotels
