Villa Maria Cristina Boutique Hotel

Thirteen suites in a handsome old building in the middle of Guanajuato's colonial centro, selected by the Michelin Guide, and adults only, which tells you something about the mood. Roche-Bobois furniture, marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs or steam rooms, and a Roman-style spa with vaulted ceilings and mosaic tile. A boutique luxury hotel with no real competition in town, which the team seems to treat as a reason to try harder rather than coast.
