The Best Hotels Near La Cocinoteca, by the Record
-
A colonial mansion in León where someone decided a Brutalist copper extension was the logical next move, and somehow the room agrees with itself. The 19th-century bones are still showing, mosaic floors and all, while the modern wing handles the creature-comfort side of things. Nineteen guestrooms, some with real personality, including a suite where the copper bathtubs sit out on a private terrace.
-
The name is a nod to sterling silver, which requires 92.5% purity and once made this city obscenely rich. This boutique hotel in Guanajuato's UNESCO historic center sits in a restored colonial building where exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings meet contemporary styling without apology. The rooftop bar frames a skyline of antique bell towers at sunset, and the wine cellar occupies the building's original cisterns. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
Stone walls and archways from a two-century-old colonial inn anchor this 27-room boutique hotel in the heart of Guanajuato's cobbled centro. The original bones are intact; the king beds, pool, day spa, and terrace views over pastel houses tumbling down the mountainside are decidedly not from the 1800s. Leave the car wherever you parked it, because the winding alleys here are the whole point, and the hotel sits right in the middle of them.
-
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.
