San Miguel Allende's Newest Luxury Hotel Puts You in the Heart of Its Historic Downtown—Plus, It Has the Area's Only Rooftop Pool
Design lovers will love this property, which skillfully fuses historic Mexican architectural details with contemporary, modern style. The location is delightfully walkable while still being a quiet place to retreat at the end of the day. For a scenic place to cool off, head to the rooftop pool, the only one in the historic downtown area. Upon arrival, you'll be given a warm welcome by Pancho, the hotel dog. Calling all late risers: You can have breakfast until 2 p.m. at Enrique. Located in Mexico's highlands in Guanajuato, San Miguel Allende is known for its charming cobblestone streets, baroque architecture, and lively culinary scene, attracting visitors from around the globe. In 2008, it became a UNESCO World Heritage City and it was named the best city in the world by Travel + Leisure readers in the 2025 World's Best Awards. San Miguel Allende is home to a host of hotels, including the splashy new Numu Boutique Hotel. Numu skillfully blends San Miguel Allende's history with modern luxury—it's a great destination for art and design lovers with custom works around the property by Mexican artists that pay homage to the local landscape. The sculpture above the lobby bar was inspired by the nearby volcanoes as well as the area's mining history. There are multiple textile sculptures on the property that celebrate the Mexican tradition of weaving, as well as two large mojigangas puppets near the entrance, a local craft. The hotel is also in a great location, next to one of the city's most popular parks (Parque Benito Juárez) and within walking distance of many of San Miguel's attractions, without being too close to the hustle and bustle of the crowds around the cathedral. But if you're in the mood for simply lounging about, never fear. Numu has the only rooftop pool in the city's downtown—a perfect location for soaking up the sunshine with a fun drink. Here's what it's like to stay at Numu Boutique Hotel San Miguel de Allende. A king suite room at Numu Boutique Hotel. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure Numu Boutique Hotel has 44 guest rooms and suites, and each has a private terrace or balcony. There are seven accommodation types that travelers can pick from, ranging from the 409-square-foot room with a king bed and a garden view to the Presidential Suite, which clocks in at 1,464 square feet and has a private rooftop terrace with a hot tub and views of San Miguel's Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. I stayed in a king suite, which was furnished with a plush bed, a working desk, a couch, and plenty of room to stretch out. Each room also includes a large bathroom with rainfall showers. The color palette in each unit is decidedly earthy with vibrant pops of terracotta orange here and there. The artwork and color scheme were inspired by the landscape and culture of Guanajuato. Lobster pasta dish from Enrique. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure There are two restaurants and two bars at Numu. Enrique is a "late breakfast," farm-to-table Mexican restaurant, which serves things like San Miguel eggs, chorizo, and fresh large pastries until 2 p.m. Lunch and dinner options include everything from tapas and crudo to pasta and tostadas. On the rooftop, you'll find Noia, which serves Mediterranean-Mexican fusion for lunch and dinner along with incredible views of San Miguel's historic downtown. If the atmosphere wasn't enough, you can also expect perfectly prepared steaks paired with inventive cocktails. Guests can even take cooking classes with head chef Omar Tovar or mixology classes with guest bartenders. Feeling thirsty? Head to the lobby bar, where you'll find everything from "revitalizing" cocktails to any coffee drink you could desire. The rooftop pool at Numu Boutique Hotel. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure The standout amenity at Numu is arguably the rooftop pool, which is lined with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a lovely garden that overlooks the surrounding historic buildings. The pool is serviced by Noia, so you'll get to enjoy top-notch food and drinks during your sunbathing session. Numu has the only rooftop pool in San Miguel's historic downtown, ensuring that you'll have a one-of-a-kind experience while simultaneously beating the heat. Numu was conceptualized and is operated by Hamak Hotels, a Mexican hospitality company that describes itself as, "not your typical hotel group." Hamak curated a range of activities to help guests explore the area in fun ways, including things like food tours, cooking classes, and mojiganga workshops. During my time at the hotel, I took advantage of this as much as possible. One of my favorite experiences was the mojiganga class, where I got to create papier mache dolls with the only family in town who still teaches this San Miguel Allende craft. I was also able to attend a cooking class where I went to the market with Noia's executive chef, where we bought the ingredients together and cooked two courses. On the ground floor, guests have access to a gym stocked with all the essentials, which is located next to the spa. The relaxation room at Numu's spa. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure Numu Spa is a wonderful full-fledged spa with a relaxation room, a red light sauna, and a host of treatments including aromatherapy, deep tissue massages, and body wraps. Much like the hotel's general ethos and philosophy, treatments at the spa are inspired by the hotel's surroundings, and treatments often feature the use of botanicals like sage, aloe vera, passionfruit, and starfruit extracts. I opted for a massage after my flight, and my masseuse was very thorough in finding the exact pain points to focus on. Numu is pet-friendly and even has a hotel dog. Pancho is a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog that guests can usually find napping by the front desk. Guests can walk Pancho any time, and if you let the hotel know you're arriving with children, they'll be able to provide a miniature stuffed animal version of Pancho as well as a 'paw-written' letter welcoming your little ones himself. Complimentary cribs are available upon request, and childcare is available for an extra fee. Patio dining at Numu's restaurant Enrique. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure There is one accessible room at Numu, a room with two queen beds, a roll-in shower, and a garden view. The room has other accessible features such as emergency strobe lights as well as a lowered peephole and door latch. The hotel avoids single-use plastics and provides all guests with reusable water bottles and has several refilling stations around the hotel. The hotel also has a cistern that's used to hold recycled water for public restrooms. Rooftop view from Noia restaurant. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure The hotel is 53 miles from the Querétaro Intercontinental Airport (QRO) and 58 miles from the more popular Guanajuato International Airport (BJX). Both are about an hour and a half drive from Numu. It is possible to hire an airport transfer to and from the hotel, but if you decide you'd rather opt for a rental car, Numu does have complimentary valet parking. Once at the hotel, San Miguel Allende's downtown is completely accessible by foot (albeit with hills and cobblestone), and almost all of the major attractions are no more than a 10-minute walk away. NUMU is a part of World of Hyatt, and is a category six hotel, meaning it will cost you 21,000 points per night. The property is also a part of American Express' Fine Hotels + Resorts program. So, if you book the property with a qualifying travel card, you can get perks like early check-in, late check-out, room upgrades, daily breakfast, and a $100 property credit. Nightly rates at Numu Boutique Hotel start from $450 per night for a standard room. Every T+L hotel review is written by an editor or reporter who has stayed at the property, and each hotel selected aligns with our core values.

Chelsea's Joao Pedro breaks silence after Luis Enrique altercation
Chelsea's Joao Pedro, who netted the third goal in their Club World Cup final victory against PSG, labelled the opposition as having 'lost their heads' following heated scenes in New York, with Luis Enrique right in the heart of the chaos. Pedro's first-half strike contributed to a shock lead over the Champions League title-holders, yet the Brazilian was later embroiled in a pitch fracas. The tension peaked towards the game's conclusion, leading to PSG's Joao Neves being sent off for yanking Chelsea's Marc Cucurella by the hair. The skirmish subsequently spilled over into full-time, involving both team benches with Pedro and Enrique amidst the commotion. The Spaniard insisted his intent was to diffuse the situation, but during the fractious moment, he seemed to swing an arm, knocking Pedro to the ground. The recent Chelsea signee, who arrived from Brighton for £60million, said: "I don't need to talk about them. Everyone wants to win the game and, in the end, I think they lost their heads. "But this is football. This has happened. Now we need to enjoy it because we won the tournament, that's it. I don't want to talk too much about them because you know how it works. Football is this." PSG, who breezed past Real Madrid in the semi-finals, came into the match as the firm favourites. However, they found themselves outplayed by a dominant Chelsea side that clinched the trophy at MetLife Stadium. Enrique stood by his full-time behaviour, insisting he was aiming to quell the tensions. He said: "I have no problem expressing my feelings at the end of the game in a high level of pressure. It's very stressful for all of us. It is going to be impossible to avoid that. Everybody was involved. It was not what was best and the end result of the pressure of the match. "I have seen (Chelsea manager Enzo) Maresca. I saw he had pushed others and we had to separate all the players and I do not know where that pressure came from. "But this is a situation we must all avoid, that goes without saying. My intention was to separate the footballers so the situation didn't become worse." Following the brawl, Chelsea lifted the first edition of the revamped tournament. But during their crowning moment, captain Reece James found himself in a bizarre encounter with US President Donald Trump, who remained in the middle of the Chelsea trophy lift. Cole Palmer, whose brace had the Blues 2-0 up inside half an hour, was named Player of the Tournament.

PSG manager Luis Enrique faces total coaching ban after SLAPPING Chelsea star Joao Pedro at Club World Cup
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN boss Luis Enrique faces a TOTAL coaching ban for his Club World Cup Final slap attack on Chelsea star Joao Pedro. Spaniard Enrique lost control after his side crashed 3-0 to Chelsea in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Luis Enrique is facing a total coaching ban for his Club World Cup final slap on Joao Pedro Credit: AFP 3 Enrique lost his cool after the match and slapped him on the side of the head Credit: Alamy 3 The incident sparked a 20-plus brawl involving players and staff Credit: Reuters After squaring up to the Brazilian striker, the PSG chief slapped him once to the side of the head, before players rushed in to separate the duo. The incident sparked a major melee involving 20-plus players and staff from both sides. Fifa is now poised to open a formal disciplinary probe into Enrique's behaviour. But world chiefs are UNABLE to impose a specific match sanction because PSG and Enrique will not play any games under their jurisdiction until the Champions League winners represent Europe in the InterContinental Cup in December. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL BLUE MURDER Enrique explains why he slapped Pedro as PSG coach faces TOTAL coaching ban And that leaves a TIME penalty - a period in which the Catalan would be prevented from doing ANY training ground or match day work - as the most likely punishment if Enrique is charged with misconduct. But midfielder Joao Neves will probably NOT be banned for his hair-tug red card on Marc Cucarella in the final moments of the match, under tournament-specific rules published by Fifa before a ball was kicked. The likely punishment for Enrique was predicted by senior Spanish referee Eduardo Gonzalez, who said: 'Of course, you can be sanctioned. 'There's a difference, the red and yellow cards in the tournament will expire. But FIFA can sanction him with time. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'So, if Luis Enrique is given a one-month ban, he would miss any games in that month. What's more, he wouldn't even be able to train the team.' He added: 'You can't touch an opponent's face. That's already a humiliating issue, that you have to go over and punch a player in the face when the game is over. Luis Enrique explains why he slapped Joao Pedro in shocking bust-up after Chelsea's Club World Cup win over PSG 'I don't look at names, I look at the action, and if we look at the action, it's punishable. 'Fifa is above Uefa. If Fifa tells you there are three matches it's in their competition, but since in this tournament the yellow and red cards ended, FIFA can, on the other hand, sanction players based on time.' The time-based penalty was handed out to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez when he bit Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay's World Cup group game at the 2014 finals. Suarez was initially banned from 'all football-related activities' for four months and banned for nine international matches, although an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport was partially successful allowing the striker to train with new club Barcelona. Fifa have yet to confirm whether disciplinary procedures have been opened against Enrique or anybody else involved. The PSG boss - who could now be banned for PSG's Super Cup meeting with Spurs in Udine on August 14 - attempted to downplay the incident in the aftermath of the defeat. He said: "At the end of the match, there was a situation that was completely avoidable for everyone. "My intention, as always, was to try to separate the players so that it didn't escalate. 'It was definitely avoidable; there was a lot of pressure. There were some problematic things coming from a lot of people. It's not the best way to attract attention." Enrique appeared to be trying to pin the blame on Blues chief Enzo Maresca as he added: 'I have seen Maresca. 'I saw he had pushed others and we had to separate all the players and I do not know where that pressure came from. "I have no problem expressing my feeling at the end of the game in a high level of pressure. It's very stressful for all of us. It is going to be impossible to avoid that. "Everybody was involved. It was not what was best and the end result of the pressure of the match. "But this is a situation we must all avoid. That goes without saying. My intention is that I wanted to separate the footballers, so the situations didn't become worse." Joao Pedro, who scored the third goal of Chelsea's first half blitz, suggested the flare-up had been sparked by PSG players making a bee-line for Brazilian youngster Andrey Santos. He said: 'I went to protect Andrey. I saw their players were crowding Andrey. Like a good Brazilian, I went to protect my friend. 'A lot of people were arriving and in that mess, I ended up getting shoved. It's part of it. "I don't need to say anything more about them because it's normal. Everyone wants to win the game and, in the end, I think they lost their heads. "But this is football, this has happened and now we need to enjoy it because we won the tournament, that's it. I don't want to talk too much about them because you know how it works. Football is this." Neves' red card, though, will not bring a ban unless Fifa rule it deserves an extra punishment. The regulations for the tournament state: 'Without prejudice to any other sanction that might result, any match suspension resulting from a player or official being sent off - as a result of a direct or an indirect red card - will not be carried over to another competition.'
