The DNA: On the colourful, colonial streets of San Miguel de Allende, Hotel Amparo is a boutique bolthole with a rooftop restaurant, characterful courtyard and clued-up concierge. You’ll soon feel like family at this home-like hideaway – help yourself to a drink at the honesty bar (or have a mixologist muddle one for you if it’s cocktail o’clock), enjoy homemade breakfasts, and kick back during the decadent dessert hour every evening. It’s a few minutes on foot to the artisan market, cathedral and Jardín Principal – but you’ll be glad to have this house to call home at the end of every day.
