NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LOS REMEDIOS CHURCH / PUEBLA
COLONIAL LUXE Whether perched on white-sand beaches or tucked at the feet of stunning volcanoes,
Mexico’s picturesque colonial cities represent the world’s most authentic blend of ancient opulence and modern
luxury. With the grandeur of towering church spires matched only by that of sprawling penthouses, the tranquility
of quaint cobblestone side streets equaled only by the region’s lavish spas, Mexico is the perfect destination for
luxury travelers who want to look forward without forgetting about the past.

Touch down in San Miguel de Allende, an under-the-radar enclave of expatriate writers, artists and CEO retirees best known
for its iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, one of the most photographed churches in all of Mexico from which the city’s neoclassical
architecture blooms. For a truly authentic stay, put your feet up at La Casa Dragones, as Martha Stewart does when visiting the bespoke tequila
company that maintains the hacienda, or get a taste of contemporary luxe at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, where a seven-treatment-room
spa and views from the Three Bedroom Rosewood Suite’s 3000-square-foot balcony are sure to overwhelm your every sense.

A quick trip north of the capital will bring you to Zacatecas, an idyllic Mexican mining village that has today become a treasured colonial jewel.
Zacatecas is home to some of the most singular collisions of heritage and haute living on earth, and no trip is complete without a pampered
evening spent in Quinta Real Zacatecas’s Presidential Suite, integrated seamlessly in the 19th-century bullring of El Ruedo, and a night of
drinks and dancing at El Malacate, an underground nightclub located in what was once El Eden mine’s vault, accessible via a gondola ride
from the heart of Zacatecas.

LA PURIFICADOA / PUEBLA
Farther than a tram car ride but still nearby, the city of Puebla bridges the gap between the colonial jewels of Mexico City and Veracruz,
gleaming with its own ancient flair. Check in at La Purificadora’s fireplace-adorned lobby, located in the historic center of this UNESCO
World Heritage site, and bask in the terrace pool as it reflects the steeple of the Church of San Francisco, towering just across the street. Dry
off for a can’t-miss meal at the Chef’s Table, carved from wood found in the 19th-century ice factory that the boutique hotel now occupies,

before heading up the hill to the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Church. With its golden domes perched on top Tlachihualtepetl, the largest
pyramid structure in the New World, and framed against the Popocatépetl Volcano’s snowcapped peak, the “Church of Our Lady of Remedies”
is one of the world’s most breathtaking pilgrimages and a perfect encapsulation of Mexico’s beauty, both new and old.

Of course no region in Mexico can lay claim to a heritage quite like the Yucatan Peninsula’s. Whether picking through the ruins of the Mayan
fortress of Calakmul or walking the edge of the Chicxulub crater, seaside Campeche provides an ideal home base. Slip into a Deluxe Suite
at Hacienda Puerta Campeche, a group of restored 17th century homes woven together with a maze of original stone walls, infinity edge
pools and cotton hammocks, before strolling down to the lamp-lit Plaza de la Independencia as Russell Brand and Katy Perry did on their
recent visit. After an afternoon on the ramparts of Fort San Miguel, originally built to defend the town against Caribbean pirates, return to
the Hacienda for a rooftop dinner at La Guardia, where the only thing that will pull your attention from the Technicolor sunset is Chef Gabriel
Vasquez’s fresh, from-the-sea tapas.

Make your final stop in Oaxaca, a sleepy colonial village tucked in the Sierra Madre-rimmed Valley of Oaxaca that, nearly 2,500 years ago,
gave birth to the whole of Zapotec civilization. Drop your bags amidst Quinta Real Oaxaca’s original 16th century frescos and tiled floors
before heading out to Monte Albán, a series of stunning temples and ancient game courts perched atop an artificially flattened plateau that
defies even modern architectural capabilities. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, Monte Albán remains one of Central America’s most
enchanting archeological attractions and a must-see for any world traveler.
