Arriving at the Hacienda San Angel is unique. Your experience begins when you are greeted by a large and unassuming wooden antique door located in an otherwise unremarkable residential neighborhood. The large door opens and as you step into the foyer, you walk across a floor laid in cobblestone passed a wall lined with antiquities, then you gaze up towards a lovely fountain-filled courtyard and immediately you feel calm and safe. One feels as though they have entered another realm. Entering our open courtyard you will hear the trickling of the fountain, feel the warmth of the sun and take in stunning Mexican architecture adorned by antiquities spanning the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. One is transported back in time surrounded by old Mexican charm, beautiful bougainvillea, and angels in every corner. The ambiance is serene and tranquil. As a newly arrived guest, you are soon invited to enjoy a welcome drink and led on a tour through arches, ornately carved antique wooden antique doors, and blissful green gardens blooming with beautiful flowers and foliage. Entering Hacienda San Angel is a breath of fresh air. There are 3 swimming pools, various terraces, and niches to settle oneself to relax and restore. Staff are always near and ready to accommodate your needs and wishes. Looking for that special place to unwind and find peace? You will find it at the Hacienda San Angel; a small 12-room luxury boutique hotel in the middle of a Mexican paradise. This is a vacation spot that truly is the ultimate “getaway” that you may have been looking for. Reserve your slice of heaven now.
