Top choice in Morelia
A show stopper! Bougainvillea frames the stone arches, fountains gurgle, classical music wafts on the breeze and palm trees reach for the skies – and that's all just in the central courtyard. The 41 rooms in this hotel all differ, but expect showers made from ancient stone arches, translucent stone basins, hand-carved wooden bedheads and a general sense of class.
The only downer here: few windows and stone walls can make for dark rooms.
