Review

Located in a historic building that dates back to 1930, Dôce 18 Concept House has since been restored in a way that celebrates its colonial history but also feels thoroughly contemporary. Dôce 18 is one of the coolest addresses in San Miguel de Allende: the innovative, labyrinth-like complex also has a restaurant, café, Champagne bar, photo gallery and a boutique that sells works by lots of Mexican designers.

L’ôtel at Dôce 18 is open only to guests and, while situated in San Miguel's bustling downtown area, feels secluded and set apart from the lively cultural epicenter. With only 10 rooms and suites, it feels more like a private home than a hotel, and the service is individualized and very friendly. Rooms, like the rest of the property, have a mostly white, minimalist aesthetic. Suites come with cozy fireplaces and most also have both an outdoor bathtub, an indoor shower and appealing amenities—handmade lavender soap to charcoal-filtered water and jugos garnished with herbs from the rooftop garden. Guests here will be thankful to have such a peaceful place to return to after a day exploring the bohemian streets and boutiques of San Miguel de Allende.

Who Should Stay

Design lovers and couples seeking impeccable design and a unique, haven-like hotel experience steps away from the central plaza of San Miguel de Allende.
