Be Enchanted By This Four-Bedroom Property In Mexico

2024 Best of Year Winner for Small Hotel Transformation

Collaborating architects Will Meyer and Marco Valle have transformed what was once a 17th-century cavalry stable into a beguiling four-bedroom property: La Casa Dragones in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Enchantments include a bougainvillea-draped courtyard and an intimate in-house bar—its counter faced in glistening obsidian tile—which can be reserved for tequila tastings and private events. Behind its carefully restored cyan facade, the 2,500-square-foot interior is a serene haven of vintage and contemporary handcrafted Mexican design. Curated by Ana Elena Mallet and Raúl Cabra, the furnishings range from pieces in what they term “mid-century Bajio” style—a region-specific blend of modernism and local craft aesthetics—to newly minted offerings from the country’s freshest artisanal talents.
