Casa 1810 Hotel Boutique

Casa 1810 Hotel Boutique is a small upscale hotel set in a grand colonial building inspired by the Alhambra fortress in Granada, Spain. It blends modern touches with traditional Mexican architectural features such as high ceilings, light stone archways, and cantera columns. Guests are greeted by sculptures and oil canvas paintings upon entering, plus a huge fireplace with cozy seating areas and brown leather armchairs. The lobby leads to a peaceful interior courtyard, with tiled floors and a heated seating area surrounding a trickling water feature. Up on the rooftop terrace, the vibe is sophisticated, with a chic bar offering stunning views of the colorful city skyline, particularly at sunset. The hotel's romantic and quiet setting attracts plenty of couples, though some families also stay here.

The hotel has a central location on Calle Hidalgo, a bustling street lined with upmarket restaurants and bars. It's an ideal choice for anyone exploring the city by foot, as most attractions are within easy walking distance of the hotel. Despite its central location, the hotel has a quiet atmosphere, particularly on the weekends when the streets are closed to cars. Some nearby attractions include the famous Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel and San Miguel de Allende Historical Museum, both a three-minute walk away. Picturesque Parque Juarez is a 10-minute walk from the property, while the ornate Baroque buildings of Casa del Mayorazgo de la Canal is a one-minute walk. The hotel is just over an hour away from Guanajuato by car, and about an hour and forty five minutes from Guanajuato International Airport.

The hotel has a total of 14 rooms in varying sizes. They're all similarly decorated in a traditional Mexican style with modern touches and warm tones. Most feature stone parquet floors, loom-woven rugs, antique wooden furnishings, and chunky wooden bed frames, while some upgraded rooms add stone fireplaces and vaulted ceilings. There are no balconies, though all rooms have comfortable seating areas. Suites adding extra living space and deep-soaking tubs in the en-suite bathrooms. In-room amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes, phones, alarm clocks, hairdryers, and free Wi-Fi. Free bottled water, robes, and slippers are a nice extra touch. Beautifully finished bathrooms include walk-in rainfall showers, marble vanities, and free premium bath products. Most guests report a good night's sleep with little external noise from traffic.

This small hotel doesn't offer fitness or wellness facilities, but it has excellent dining options and a chic rooftop terrace bar offering fine wines, cocktails, and superb views over the city. Trazo restaurant serves contemporary cuisine in a sophisticated setting, plus a free cooked-to-order breakfast that gets excellent reviews, consisting of warm breads, homemade jams, fresh fruit, french toast, and a choice of hot dishes. The (tiny) outdoor pool is a great place to cool off after a long day exploring the city, surrounded by a few padded sun loungers for relaxing. There's also a cozy wine cellar that's great for intimate gatherings, which is often used as an event space. As the hotel mostly caters to adults, few family-friendly facilities can be found here. Business facilities are also limited, though guests can use printers on request. Hotel services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, room service (limited hours), airport transfers for a fee, free valet parking, and free Wi-Fi.
