Cartesiano, Puebla, Mexico
Two hours southeast of Mexico City is Puebla, a charming city known for its cuisine and colonial architecture. The latest lodging to grace the historic center is Cartesiano, scheduled to open in November. In addition to its superb location—within walking distance from the central square, known as Zócalo de Puebla—this boutique hotel boasts 78 tranquil accommodations, split between Los Arcos (restored 16th-century mansion) and La Casa De Los Dos Patios (the more modern wing). There’s also a beautiful rooftop pool and deck, library, bar and two fine-dining restaurants.
