Best Hotels in Mexico

From the Mexico City Polanco luxury cluster to the Los Cabos Pacific anchor to the Yucatan-and-Riviera-Maya beach cluster and the colonial-heritage register.

The Mexico Luxury Hotel Cluster

Mexico's luxury hotel geography divides across the Mexico City Polanco-and-Centro-Histórico anchor (Four Seasons, Las Alcobas, the contemporary Polanco towers), the Los Cabos Pacific cluster (Esperanza, Las Ventanas, Montage, One&Only Palmilla), the Riviera-Maya-and-Tulum Yucatan beach cluster (Rosewood Mayakoba, Belmond Maroma, Aman Tulum), the Oaxaca colonial register, and the San-Miguel-de-Allende heritage anchor.

The Mexican luxury hotel cluster is anchored by the structural Rosewood Mexico-cluster (Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, Rosewood Mayakoba), the Aman cluster (Aman Tulum), the Belmond cluster (Belmond Maroma, Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada), the Four Seasons Mexico cluster (Mexico City, Punta Mita, Tamarindo), the Auberge cluster (Las Alcobas, Esperanza, Solaz), and the structurally distinct independent-Mexican-luxury cluster.

Editors organise the Mexican luxury hotel guide by working register — choose Mexico City for the working colonial-and-Polanco urban anchor, Los Cabos for the working Pacific-coast luxury cluster, the Riviera Maya for the working Yucatan-and-Tulum beach cluster, San Miguel de Allende for the working colonial-heritage countryside, and Oaxaca for the working indigenous-craft-and-mole alternative.
