From morning walks to the Jardín Principal to evening strolls through beautifully illuminated streets filled with music and laughter, your accommodations place you within easy walking distance of many of the city's most memorable experiences.

The Hotel La Morada is one of the best located hotels in San Miguel de Allende. It is only 20 steps from the main square, surrounded by historical monuments, the best restaurants, shops, boutiques and the wonderful streets of San Miguel. A daily breakfast is included.
