April 15, 2025

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, GT, MEXICO — Autograph Collection expands into new destinations in Mexico with the arrival of Cleviá, San Miguel de Allende. The new property, which also marks the first Marriott Bonvoy hotel to open in San Miguel de Allende, joins the Autograph Collection brand, which includes over 300 independent hotels across the world, each hand-selected for their inherent craft and distinct perspective on design.

Located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage city, Cleviá Hotel epitomizes the Autograph Collection’s dedication to weaving the stories of the past, present, and future into its very fabric, combining tradition and modernity in an atmosphere that celebrates cultural heritage. Respecting the characteristics of this city in central Mexico, and preserving the essence of the “Best Small City in the World,” as shared by Condé Nast Traveler, the hotel integrates local culture with endemic materials and products from the region.

“We are thrilled to open our first hotel in the enchanting city of San Miguel de Allende, a destination celebrated for its authenticity, vibrant culture, and rich history,” said Brian King, president of Marriott International’s Caribbean and Latin America (CALA). “This magical town captivates visitors with its colorful streets, artistic spirit, and warm hospitality, values that resonate deeply with the Autograph Collection brand. As we open our doors, we are not just bringing a new hotel to the city, we are embracing the opportunity to become part of this extraordinary community, creating meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences for travelers and locals alike.”

The property’s signature restaurant, Ayolí, led by Chef Eduardo Osuna, pays homage to the cultural and gastronomic richness of Mexico.

Cleviá, San Miguel de Allende, Autograph Collection features 74 rooms and 42 residences that converge around a central courtyard featuring an infinity pool. The hotel celebrates contemporary Mexico throughout the building’s architecture and design; a key example of this is the property’s two event halls, one with a capacity for 350 people and the other for 150 in banquet style. The halls are named after Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragán, renowned Mexican architect and engineer, known for their geometric designs, use of color and light, and public buildings.

“San Miguel de Allende possesses a special magic, a personality that makes it unique among Mexican towns,” said Víctor Legorreta, who represents the firm that conceived the hotel’s architecture and interior design. “It is a place made for walking and delighting in its plazas, parks, and alleys.”

Cleviá, San Miguel de Allende, Autograph Collection, centers its story around the legend of a key that opens all doors in San Miguel de Allende. Said to hold special powers, the key — and whoever possesses it — can unlock all the magic that this enchanted town has to offer.

With no two Autograph Collection hotels the same, each property offers a unique signature experience. At Cleviá, this is brought to life at Jardin de los Olivos (the Garden of Olives), a space tying guests back to the legend of the city’s magical key. Guests who visit the emblematic garden will receive a key that they can personalize with a brass engraving and hang in the garden’s trees to immortalize their stay at the hotel and San Miguel de Allende.

The property has deep roots within the community, including the hotel’s dedicated art space, a fundamental element in the city’s culture. The gallery will exhibit distinguished works by local artists as well as artists from various cities throughout Mexico.

Cleviá, San Miguel de Allende, Autograph Collection, participates in Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s travel program.

Autograph Collection Hotels number more than 330 independent hotels located across more than 50 countries and territories. Each hotel is individual and hand-selected for its inherent craft and distinct perspectives on design and hospitality.
