Guanajuato
This series of stunning converted colonial mansions, joined by a maze of patios and gardens, is one of Guanajuato's most exclusive addresses. The decor in the spacious rooms features neoclassical French designer furniture, original paintings by local artist Jesús Gallardo, and beds and bathrooms with all the fluffy trimmings. There are fountains, two swimming pools and wonderful views.
It's in La Presa, a 15-minute walk from the center of Guanajuato.
