Tequila, Mexico

Hotel Solar de las Animas

Storied Grande Dame

What it is

A historic 93-room hideaway with 17th and 18th century architecture, a rooftop pool, and a central courtyard restaurant where locavore dishes are inspired by the region.

What it isn't

Unpolished. This is a member of the coveted global coterie Relais & Châteaux, and it shows; every bite of the food is Michelin-worthy.

What we think

The gracious and genteel side of Mexico is at the forefront here, where each and every room looks so cinematic it could star in Under the Jalisco Sun. Even the beginning room category is stunning, with its exposed beams and checkerboard tile floors, marble finishes, fanciful carved wood Colonial furniture, sumptuous Egyptian cotton linens and robes and slippers ideal for cocktail hour. To feel what life is like for a tequila baron, go for the Master King; you’ll have a living room and sweeping 645 square foot floor plan looking over the rolling agave fields and Sierra Madre mountains beyond.

You're here because

You love a rooftop bar; this one overlooks the peak of the 9,580-foot-tall Tequila Volcano.

The Moment

This afternoon at your poolside daybed, your only decision is whether to nap…or indulge in another cocktail. Then you realize you’re on vacay, and the answer is clear. Both.

Restaurants & Bars

La Antigua Casona : warm and welcoming, serving a range of typical local and regional dishes prepared using quality organic ingredients in addition to a range of contemporary Mexican haute cuisine

Sky Bar : snacks from an a la carte menu and an incredible view of Tequila Volcano

Bar Chucho Reyes : A Mexican-style bar serving the fine cocktails in a laid-back, flower-bedecked, palm-shaded courtyard.

Location

An hour and 25 minute drive from Guadalajara International Airport, but two blocks from the National Museum of Tequila (we’ll cheers to that).
