From north to south and from one impressive peninsula to the other, Mexico is as rich and diverse in nature as it is in culture. Exploring the country can mean swimming in turquoise waters in the Caribbean, sipping Mexican wine in Baja California Norte, or strolling the cobblestone streets of a colonial town – and there’s a spectacular hotel for each of these experiences.

Mexico’s top destinations are home to world-class hotels, several of them lauded with Michelin keys and spots on the World’s 50 Best Hotels List. So, what’s the secret? Beyond stunning architecture, incomparable culinary experiences and creative activity programming, you’ll find a warm, heartfelt hospitality that sets Mexico apart and transforms every stay into a lasting memory. From an ultra-luxury boutique resort to a restored hacienda, Mexico’s best hotels are as unique as the country itself.
