Every corner has been carefully designed to offer a stay that transcends the ordinary, combining tradition and modernity in an atmosphere that celebrates cultural heritage and contemporary sophistication. Respecting the characteristics of this city and preserving the essence of the “Best Small City in the World,” as shared by Condé Nast Traveler, the hotel integrates local culture with endemic materials and products from the region.

“We are thrilled to open our first hotel in the enchanting city of San Miguel de Allende, a destination celebrated for its authenticity, vibrant culture, and rich history. This magical town captivates visitors with its colorful streets, artistic spirit, and warm hospitality, values that resonate deeply with the Autograph Collection brand,” said Brian King, President of Marriott International‘s Caribbean and Latin America (CALA). “As we open our doors, we are not just bringing a new hotel to the city, we are embracing the opportunity to become part of this extraordinary community, creating meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences for travelers and locals alike.”

At the property’s signature restaurant, Ayolí, guests will enjoy an immersive experience that pays homage to the cultural and gastronomic richness of Mexico. Guests will find a culinary experience inspired by emotions and storytelling, beginning with the naming of the restaurant, which serves as an ode to oral tradition, based on the charm of deciphering the secrets of Mexican sayings. Acclaimed Chef Eduardo Osuna will deliver Mexican dishes with a unique cosmopolitan touch, elevating Ayolí as a beacon of culinary excellence in San Miguel de Allende.

Cleviá, San Miguel de Allende, Autograph Collection, features 74 rooms and 42 residences that converge around a central courtyard featuring an infinity pool with a mirror-like water effect. The hotel celebrates contemporary Mexico throughout the building’s architecture and design. A key example of this is the property’s two event halls, one with a capacity for 350 people and the other for 150 in banquet style. The halls are named after Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragán, renowned Mexican architect and engineer, known for their vibrant, geometric designs, innovative use of color and light, and influential public buildings.

“San Miguel de Allende possesses a special magic, a personality that makes it unique among Mexican towns. It is a place made for walking and delighting in its plazas, parks, and alleys,” said Víctor Legorreta, who represents the renowned firm that conceived the hotel’s architecture and interior design.

At Cleviá, this is brought to life at Jardin de los Olivos (the Garden of Olives), a space tying guests back to the legend of the city’s magical key. Guests who visit the emblematic garden will receive a key that they can personalize with a brass engraving and hang in the garden’s trees to immortalize their stay at the hotel and San Miguel de Allende.
