Be it for its white-sand beaches along the Caribbean Sea or its legendary surf breaks tucked within seaside havens along the Pacific Coast, Mexico has long been considered one of the top travel destinations in the world—and that’s only to speak of the beaches. There’s also bustling Oaxaca, where ancestral craftsmanship thrives, and Mexico City, where one of the world’s foremost art and design scenes is taking shape. Making a trip to the country is ideal for pretty much every type of traveler, be it those interested in art, food, adventure, or all three. New hotels are opening almost monthly to keep up with the country’s growing demand of visitors in all areas of the country, creating a little something for everyone.
To enjoy the best of Mexico and its unique culture—and for a getaway on the West Coast, East Coast, or somewhere in between—our editors have selected the best hotels in Mexico, ranging from beachside treehouses and luxury resorts to mountain respites and city boltholes. Read on to see our complete list.
How we chose the best hotels in Mexico
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location, and warm service—as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
