Casa Hoyos, the iconic boutique hotel located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, invites architecture and art lovers to immerse themselves in its rich history and innovative approach to interior design, marked by a distinctive Neofolk aesthetic. This artistic fusion not only enriches the guest experience, but also celebrates local culture and traditions through a contemporary and sophisticated approach.
Belonging to the Hoyos family for four generations and for over one hundred years, Casa Hoyos has housed various businesses, from a currency exchange and a grain and seed store, to becoming a luxury boutique hotel. This rich and versatile history is reflected in the mansion’s Neofolk design, an ode to Mexican roots that combines traditional elements with modern touches to create vibrant and welcoming spaces. This style, known for its ability to reimagine folkloric traditions in a modern context, manifests itself in every corner of the hotel, from its common areas to its exclusive rooms.
Designed by A-G Studio, by designer Andrés Gutiérrez, Casa Hoyos is committed to a colorful, fresh and avant-garde design with a global feel, which connects with local traditions by implementing artisanal techniques such as glazed ceramics, pasta tiles or clay tiles, creating a look and feel in total harmony with elements of Mexican modernism, such as pure concrete, textured glass, steel frames and black contours that help to better define the spaces.
At Casa Hoyos, every detail has been meticulously selected to tell a story. The furniture, textiles and decorative art are the result of a collaboration with local artisans, who have contributed their talent and vision to merge the old with the new. In addition to its exquisite interior design, this boutique hotel offers a unique experience that goes beyond accommodation.
Its spaces are completely inspired by the history of the place and it has an exceptional gastronomic offer at GHAR, the restaurant located inside Casa Hoyos. Under the direction of Chef Hiran Patel, GHAR presents a culinary concept that embraces the flavors of India and fuses them with emblematic elements of Mexican gastronomy, creating an unparalleled culinary experience.
Guests and tourists will also be able to enjoy an incredible panoramic view from BEKEB, a craft mixology bar located on the hotel’s terrace, which has become a favorite of connoisseurs visiting San Miguel de Allende. In addition, in 2024, BEKEB was recognized by the 50 Best Bars awards, occupying the No. 27 position and consolidating itself as one of the best bars in North America.
Casa Hoyos offers an exceptional hospitality experience in its common areas and its 16 rooms, where a harmonious dialogue is established between colonial architecture and the contemporary vitality of Mexican design. This boutique hotel is distinguished by providing a personalized environment that invites you to experience new emotions in an old estate full of history. Thanks to these features and its unique proposal, the Michelin Guide has recognized Casa Hoyos as one of the best boutique hotels in San Miguel de Allende.
