[ An outdoor lounge at Spa Matilda ]
From the marble floors to the soft robes, Hotel Matilda had me at hello. My five day-stay at the newly opened hotel in San Miguel de Allende was a stretch of pure relaxation and bliss. I was utterly obsessed with the modern design mixed with classic pieces that fused together creating a comfortable, lived in feel. After long days of exploring the city I would soak in the giant tub, hit Spa Matilda for a massage and Hammam treatment or simply lounge on my private terrace that had a view of half the city. Delectable meals prepared by chef Bernie left me in a happy food coma and prickly pear cactus margaritas had me sleeping sound as a baby.
