We named Guanajuato, Mexico, as one of our Top 10 Value Travel Destinations in 2011, but the colonial town is a smart bet for luxury, too. These boutique hotels offer refined service and upscale amenities in a romantic setting while capitalizing on the city’s unique charm.
Quinta Las Acacias
Housed in a French-style mansion originally built in 1890, Quinta Las Acacias’ main building harkens back to that era with period-style furnishings and photographs of the former residents on the walls. However, you should definitely splurge on one of the Jacuzzi suites in the buildings behind (just avoid La Puerepecha, which has no natural light). You won’t find flat-screen TVs and the Wi-Fi can be spotty but this 17-room AAA Four Diamond property doesn’t disappoint on ambience. Jacuzzi suites start at $275/night, with breakfast included. www.quintalasacacias.com.mx
