Dos Casas Hotel & Spa
As even the most elementary Spanish student would guess, the hotel comprises two adjoining houses. They’re colonial, dating back to the 18th century (a third building, added in 2009, contains the spa) and located just steps from the UNESCO-designated historic center. But after years of thoughtful renovations under the direction of architect-designer Alberto Laposse, the look has a midcentury modern twist. Romantic stone archways and Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair? Original wood-beamed ceilings and modern Latin American art? Yes, please.
The two houses contain just twelve guest rooms. The standard is the Design Room, featuring 400-thread count linens, a Nespresso machine, a wine fridge, free wi-fi, and a marble bathtub and rain shower with products by London brand Aromatherapy Associates. On the other end of the spectrum is the Townhouse, a lavish three-story suite with its own private entrance and a rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi and panoramic views.
Not to worry: you’re at Dos Casas. There’s more than one house, and more than one rooftop terrace. And the second one, a communal terrace, is for the rest of us. It’s an ideal vantage point from which to look down at the skyline of the 16th-century Centro Histórico. You’ll want to reserve ahead for dinner at Áperi, the hotel’s hip and very popular restaurant. With a modern menu built around fresh local ingredients, it’s a hit with local foodies and travelers alike. Go for a candlelit table on the patio.

Service and location
The room was lovely and the the people who worked there couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. The breakfast was excellent and I had a terrific spa treatment. We had dinner at the restaurant as well and it was the best meal we had in San Miguel and the food was excellent at every other restaurant we tried so that is really saying something about how great the food was at Aperi, the hotel restaurant.
What's not to like? Thanks to our Tablet-Plus membership, we got upgraded to the best room in the hotel, the Mountain View Suite. The shower/tub with retractable roof was just dreamy. On our final night, I arranged with the hotel to have our deck hot-tub filled and surrounded with candles by the time we returned from dinner. It was just perfect. I can't say enough about the room... one of the nicest I've ever stayed in. When you stay there, take some time to notice all the design details. For example, the door to the bathroom was built into the room's cabinetry, making it look like a hidden door. There was a rough-hewn wood shelf the length of the hallway between the living room and the bedroom, a perfect place to store phones, etc. The staff was so accommodating. They also arranged for a driver service to pick us up in Mexico City and to drop us off at the airport when we were headed out.
