History
Casa de Sierra Nevada comprises six artfully restored colonial mansions in the UNESCO World Heritage Site centre of San Miguel de Allende, including a 17th-century fort, the 18th-century Casa Palma, and the former archiepiscopal residence built in 1580. The town was founded on silver-mining wealth and was a crucible of the Mexican independence movement. The hotel's thick adobe walls, vine-strangled facades, hand-painted talavera tiles, and carved wooden headboards evoke centuries of Mexican colonial craftsmanship. Interior designer Trisha Wilson oversaw the renovation of all 37 rooms and suites.
