San Miguel de Allende is far from an “under the radar” destination in Mexico. Indeed, the city has garnered accolades among expatriates, art lovers, and foodies the world over as “the place to be” when traveling inland in the country. The city of about 175,000 sees more than 400,000 annual visitors, and this has led major hotel operators and boutique accommodations alike to open properties catering to them. None better represents the vision and vibe of San Miguel than Numu Boutique Hotel, part of Hyatt’s The Unbound Collection that opened in February 2023. On a recent trip to the city, I visited the property to partake in cocktails, a cooking class, and to experience what I’d heard would be the best hospitality in the city – and the hotel lives up to the hype. A stay, a meal, or even just a cooking class from Executive Chef Omar Tovar should be on your list for a trip to San Miguel de Allende.

A fin appeared and we all gasped and whooped.
