Mesón Hidalgo*
@Chelsea
Meson Hidalgo is a unique guest house and boutique that captures the vibrant spirit of San Miguel with its artistic flair and emphasis on local craftsmanship. It feels like a private sanctuary despite the location just a few minutes away from the main square. Owner Laura Kirar curates personalized experiences for guests from private dinners on the terrace to exclusive experiences with local artists. Kirar redecorated with her artistic point of view but preserved the concept and spirit of this historic space. If you're not a guest, stop by to shop at the boutiques offering home wares, clothing, and perfume.

Fabrica la Aurora
@Chelsea
Located in the north end of town, this textile factory turned design center houses art galleries, studios, and shops open for browsing. A few of the highlights are La Bottega di Casa, Rachel Horne, and Cantadora Antiguedades, and Mariló Carral’s avocado-shaped chairs at Carral Espacio Galeria. Finding old homewares furniture can be surprisingly difficult, but you'll find a variety of rustic antiques here. Stroll through at your own pace and stop in the cafe or bookstore for a break.
