Casa Hoyos puts a fresh spin on a classic material.
Most buildings in San Miguel de Allende follow the same recipe: Colonial structures plus warm, vibrant hues. The small town in Guanajuato is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with strict regulations that protect its colorful streets. But when Vianney Torres decided to open a small hotel on her family’s property, she saw an opportunity to do something completely different.
The hotel, called Casa Hoyos, occupies a former Spanish colonial manor in the city, which is home to many colourful baroque-style buildings from the mid-1700s.
