Casa Silencio | Oaxaca, Mexico
This stylish six room eco-retreat is set in a mezcal distillery one hour east of Oaxaca City, off the beaten path in a state increasingly explored by international travelers. An assemblage of compacted dirt walls, reclaimed wood, and loads of terra-cotta, it creates a space that feels at home among a landscape dotted with agave plants.

Marquee Playa Hotel | Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Travelers to Playa del Carmen have plenty of choices already, but something new, luxe, and stylish is always welcome. Marquee Playa Hotel offers its own perspective on the Riviera Maya scene, drawing inspiration from, of all things, the golden age of Hollywood glamour — monochrome portraits and film stills adorn the walls, and while the interior-design style is mostly minimalist, you just might catch a glimpse of Art Deco here and there.

Camino Real Polanco | Mexico City
Architecture aficionados should book at least one night at Camino Real in Polanco. The hotel, built for the 1968 Olympics, was designed by the late architect Ricardo Legorreta, who was renowned for his Mexican modernist style. In the Camino Real, that style is expressed through a reverent nod to Mexico's past, with part of the hotel's exterior evoking a pre-Hispanic pyramid.

Central Hotel Boutique | Chihuahua, Mexico
It would be hard to imagine a more distinguished setting for a hotel in Chihuahua, right in the heart of the historic city center, next to the Plaza de Armas and the 18th-century cathedral. Central Hotel Boutique makes its home in a distinguished building as well: Casa Trías dates back to 1845, and is the city’s oldest estate-style courtyard house. Now it's the most stylish and luxurious lodging in town.

Hacienda Peña Pobre | Mexico City
There are few cities in the world quite as overwhelming as Mexico City, but even here there are green spaces to be found, if you know where to look. Hacienda Peña Pobre lies not in the ultra-urban heart of the city but near its southern edge; more importantly, it’s set just yards from the Bosque de Tlalpan, a sizable urban forest and a popular destination for locals in need of some greenery.

TreeHouse Boutique Hotel | Mérida, Mexico
The capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán is Mérida, and if all you know about the Yucatán peninsula is the Caribbean coast, you’re in for a surprise: a stunning colonial city, established nearly 500 years ago, right on top of an existing Maya one. The result is a place that’s chock full of historical resonance, and the same can be said for the astonishingly lovely (and adults-only!) Treehouse Boutique Hotel.

Bellview Hotel Boutique | Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Any hotel that’s modestly sized, memorable, and presents a unique point of view on its setting qualifies as a boutique hotel in our book. And BellView fits the bill. For while there are plenty of bigger and more contemporary hotels in this town, there’s nothing else like BellView, whose four rooms and suites are overflowing with the sort of historical elegance that’s in painfully short supply around here.

Edelmira Hotel Boutique | Guanajuato, Mexico

Villa Escondida | Santa Maria Huatulco, Mexico
The Pacific coast of Oaxaca is pretty close to paradise on earth, and it’s shocking at this late date that a place like Villa Escondida can have a little stretch of coastline all to itself, a short distance from the Huatulco airport. This is a hotel, but just barely: with four suites it’s about as small as they come, and if you’re traveling with a party of ten or fewer, it’s not out of the question that the whole villa could be yours.

Una Vida | Tulum, Mexico
With Tulum getting busier, guests are looking for a bit of extra privacy and seclusion, and hoteliers, looking for space, are establishing hotels outside of the most obvious locations. Una Vida is one of these — set on a verdant piece of land west of city center, where the rainforest meets the town, it’s a villa-style hotel, its rooms and suites clustered together in groups of two or three across the property.

Diez Diez | Mérida, Mexico
Much of traditional Yucatán design skews toward the feminine with fanciful tiles, embroidered linens, and a penchant for pastels. This newhotel, a block from the city’s grand boulevard, Paseo Montejo, opts for a decidedly masculine aesthetic instead. The palette is largely black, white, and gray with details using tzalam, a local tropical wood. A winged figure by sculptor Jorge Marín greets guests in the small central courtyard, while a race car theme drives the decor of the largest suite.

Casa Hormiga | Balacar, Mexico
The so-called Riviera Maya may grab the headlines, but it’s worth venturing a little farther, to the southern reaches of the Yucatán Peninsula, for a truly transformative experience. Here, close to the border with Belize, is the town of Bacalar, along the shores of the impossibly clear blue lake of the same name; and it’s in this town that you’ll find the beautifully tranquil Casa Hormiga Hotel & Rituales.
