When a smaller more intimate stay is required here is a short list of the finest boutique hotels of Los Cabos.
1- Casa Natalia
On a quaint cobblestone street in the art district of San Jose del Cabo lies the Casa Natalia. Voted one of the top 10 hotels in all of Mexico by Conde Nast Traveler readers. What makes this hotel special is the details, with 19 nicely decorated rooms, great beds, tasteful decor and cozy spaces all highlight by the attention of the staff. Enjoy the French-inspired chef co-owned Mi Cocina restaurant and oyster bar.
2- Guaycura Boutique Hotel Beach Club & Spa
This classic brick building in the heart of Todos Santos looks like it was built back in the ’30’s but is in fact one of the newer buildings in this Pueblo Magico. The design is historic but is has a distinctly new and clean feel. From the hip roof top lounge, bar and pool to the colorful tiles, every detail brings a sense of ease. Speaking of comfort, the oversized beds dressed in fine linens are perfect for a rejuvenating and restful stay. The addition of the amazing restaurant El Mirador a few miles away and down hill the relaxing beach club and Spa El Faro making this a three pronged Boutique resort. You are guaranteed a great stay.
3- El Encanto Inn and Suites
Another great option in the heart of the historic zone in San Jose Del Cabo, El Encanto opened in 1998 by 5th generation Blanca Pedrin who grew up in the original house. The warmth of old Mexico will inspire you here. This classic Hacienda style home has courtyards, open restaurant and even a chapel for weddings. Lush flowering vegetation combined with soft music and water fountains make for a deeply relaxing stay.
Shops and an art gallery make this a favorite destination during the winter weekly Thursday Art Walks.
4- Rancho Pescadero
Looking for a relaxed vibe on a quiet beach, then consider this enclave in Pescadero. An hour north of Cabo San Lucas and just south of Todos Santos, this 15 acre resort offers 28 intimate suites right on the beach. A connection to solitude and nature makes this an ideal choice for those looking for the essence of Baja.
Boasting an impressive list of awards including Traveler Magazine Best in the World list 2015 and Trip Advisor Hall of Fame 2015, you can relax, they have you covered. Celebrate in style; book the whole place for special events, memorable weddings, yoga retreats and more. Of course the food is front and center and can be catered to your needs.
5- Hotel California Todos Santos
The storied history of this first hotel in Todos Santos needs its own article, now I give you just a short description of a classic wonderful hotel. Opened in 1947 at the peak of the Baja CA Sur sugar era, Mr Wong ran it until the great drought. Later the hotel and town had became neglected and in 2001, a Canadian couple John and Debbie Stewart purchased the hotel. After completing a masterful renovation that later won numerous awards for design and décor, the original 16 rooms were transformed into the eclectic 11 suite hotel it is today. The restaurant, La Coronela and Bar were added and the area of the original gas station became the tienda Emporio, the hotel’s boutique gallery/bazaar. Go stay there and ask for room #12, our favorite – they’re all special.
A recent lawsuit by the Eagles only adds to the mystery.
