Beautiful and luxurious stay in the center of San Miguel de Allende. Enjoyed the peaceful and Zen like environment with tasteful decorations at the hotel which was a perfect blend of nature and Mayan inspiration. Most of all Nico, Luis and Oscar made it a wonderful stay with great concierge service and were incredibly helpful in making recommendations, booking reservations and arranging for massage appointments. The rooms are wonderful and unique with all the amenities. Appreciated the friendly and warm environment provided by the team concierge who made us feel pampered and assisted us with transportation services to and from the airport and to Mexico City. We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days last weekend and cannot wait to return again to La Valise!!

Extraordinary place - a boutique hotel in the best way to think of it. Only 6 room - each one highly individual and generously spacious. Every room has some very special touch. Magical atmosphere on the courtyard with a small, beautiful pool. Rooftop with sunbeds. Super attentive, professional and knowledgeable service. Great location.

We stayed at the rosewood another time - while hard to compare with LaValise, would anytime prefer LaValise when coming back.

This was one of the most special hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I stayed in the Ollin suite, which was beautiful, with a stunning spa-style shower and tub.

The design of the space is truly something special, but more than that, the quality of such a small and intimate atmosphere makes this place stand out. Oscar and Nicolas were kind and deeply generous with their knowledge of SMA (go to Bocaciega—their recommendation and my favourite meal of the trip).

The location is perfect—it’s very easy to walk to the main sites, but the hotel/rooms are quiet and removed. There’s a beautiful view from the roof/jacuzzi!

The breakfast was delicious, the overall quality and care was outstanding—I couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

An artful, easeful stay is on offer here in a luminous city. The environment is quiet, lovely, inspiring. The staff have such care and pride for this home turned 6-room boutique hotel, and rightly so. I hesitate to share the secret further, but if you’ve read this far, you should book. The morning sun on the terrace, the afternoon light, the art everywhere. I cannot wait to return.

We had the most incredible stay at La Valise in SMA. The staff are exceptional to begin with, they could not have been more welcoming. We got some amazing recommendations of things to do and places to eat during our stay. They could not have been more attentive and provided a 5 star experience for sure. The property is amazing and feels like a secret courtyard in the middle of SMA. Our room (Genisus suite) was out of this world. We have stayed in some nice hotels but this room tops it. The spa bathroom is one of a kind. We loved chilling in the hotel during the day and taking a cocktail up to the rooftop jacuzzi as the sun sets. If we ever return to SMA we will for sure stay there again. Special mention of food to eat while there would be Mama Melé burritos - a casual spot but the burritos are amazing and Humberto the owner was great!

Staff really went above and beyond for us. They were amazing. Loved the little details like the welcome mezcal, and the breakfast. We would certainly stay here again.

My only small complaint would be that they said they were going to light the lanterns/candles at night which didn’t happen. Maybe next time.

Surprise and delight in every detail! The service was as thoughtful as the interiors. From the time we arrived, the hotel staff went above and beyond to welcome us. Luis, Nico, and Mauricio each added a unique element to our stay; Luis gave us the best recommendations and was so fun to talk to and practice Spanish with, Nico expertly handled the booking of our excursions, and Mauricio was so kind and generous, bringing us tea service in the evenings. Breakfast on the terrace each morning was the highlight of our stay. Excellent location, close to everything. My mom and I have a home in San Miguel and it’s La Valise. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

La Valise lived up to and exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were beautiful, serene, clean, and soul soothing. The service was top notch. Luis and the entire concierge team went out of their way to make our stay special. Every reservation made on our behalf was unique and memorable—I only hesitate to give five stars because I almost don’t want to share this special place! We will be back.
