Hotel Matilda

Ask nicely (or mention an anniversary) and the team might upgrade you to a suite with a terrace and an outdoor tub—a front-row seat to San Miguel’s golden-hour glow

Hotel Matilda redefines the notion of a Mexican escape. There are no wrought-iron beds or talavera tiles here. Instead, think floor-to-ceiling photography, smooth concrete walls, and lighting that’s more art installation than ambience. It’s effortlessly cool but never pretentious

The rooms are sleek sanctuaries—crisp white linens, curated art, and marble bathrooms stocked with luxe Natura Bissé products. The corner suites are the ones to book if you’re chasing morning light and mountain views

At Moxi, Chef Vicente Torres takes you on a flavour journey, weaving in regional ingredients and avant-garde techniques. The tasting menu is sublime, but even the simplest dish—like the beet tartare or lamb with mole—is plated with painterly flair

Come evening, Monkey Bar hums with a stylish local crowd sipping spicy mezcalitas beneath fairy-lit trees. It's the kind of place where nights stretch out—until you slip upstairs to your artful cocoon

But it’s the vibe that lingers longest: bold, warm, and wildly creative—just like the city itself
