Off the Beaten Path
Planning A Girls Trip to San Miguel de Allende
We had a Just Because in San Miguel de Allende Friend’s 50th birthday! Absolutely Amazing! Dinorah was the best! She was professional, fun, creative, innovative and accommodating! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us lots of direction (which I asked her to do). She made the photoshoot so much fun, and the photos were incredible! I can’t wait to hire her for future photo shoots!Nothing! It was perfect! – Linda
A Weekend Getaway in San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is just a few hours from Mexico City or Queretaro, but provides quaint colonial streets, world class food and shopping, nightlife, and history.
Where to Stay in San Miguel de Allende
For luxury accommodations, you should look no further than the Rosewood or Belmond Casa Sierra, both have luxury mexican design, amazing cuisine and great locations. There are countless boutique hotel options for those looking for something more eclectic and historical, such as the famous Casa Matilda or Dos Casas. For luxury hillside accommodation outside of the city, Sagrada Boutique Hotel and Hotel Palomar are the kind of places with gorgeous views and a stay-cation feel, but still a short drive from San Miguel.
