Best Relais & Châteaux Hotels in Mexico

A member of the Relais & Châteaux hotel group, Las Mañanitas Hotel Garden Restaurant & Spa lures luxury-seekers with its verdant gardens, pristine pool and diverse culinary offerings. Recent travelers describe Las Mañanitas as a hidden gem enhanced by Old World decor. Accommodations feature wooden furniture, tiled floors and Internet access. (The Garden and Patio Suites also feature cozy fireplaces.) Couple that with sleek TVs and room service and there's hardly a reason to step outside your airy digs (except to try the delicious entrees, such as red snapper and tortilla soup, dished up at the on-site restaurant). Recent patrons give the restaurant high praise for its tasteful food presentation and attentive staff. After you've invigorated your taste buds, you can indulge in a rejuvenating treatment at Spa Orlane before lounging by the pool. Just be prepared to leave with a major dent in your wallet; guests say the cost of meals and accommodations adds up quickly, but that they are well worth the indulgence. You'll find Las Mañanitas in Cuernavaca, about 43 miles south of Mexico City.

Guests say their stays at the Relais & Châteaux-affiliated Hotel Solar de Las Ánimas were nothing short of delightful. Lodgers were charmed by the hotel's classic Mexican architecture (think: arched entryways, wood ceiling beams and stone columns), as well as the warm and friendly staff members that greeted them upon arrival. Rooms here are just as decorative, with patterned marble floors and decorative bathroom tiles. Plus, all come equipped with L'Occitane bath products, Egyptian cotton sheets, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access and bathrobes and slippers. Travelers rave about the comfortable and well-appointed accommodations but offer even more praise for the hotel's mosaic pool and rooftop Sky Bar. Other on-site amenities include a spa, a fitness center and La Antigua Casona restaurant, which serves tasty Mexican dishes, according to previous diners. You will find the Hotel Solar de Las Ánimas in the heart of Tequila, Mexico, roughly 45 miles northwest of Guadalajara.
