Fodor's Expert Review Todos Santos Inn
Calle Legaspi 33, Todos Santos, Baja California Sur 23305, México See on Map Fodor's Choice
This converted 19th-century house, with only eight guest rooms, is unparalleled in design and comfort, owing to the loving care and attention of the owners. The pool deck is lined with hearty stone and brick; the painted walls of the foyer depict a fading, dusky scene; and gorgeous antiques are displayed throughout, completing the period feel in this hacienda that once belonged to a sugar baron. The attached La Copa wine bar and La Copa Cocina restaurant are open in the evening.
room
Rooms in this historic hacienda style lodging retain their traditional character, from antique wooden dressers, desks, and armoires to polished Saltillo tile floors and canopied four poster beds.
Roomy Garden Suites showcase separate living areas and private patios.
bathroom
Cool tile surfaces abound, on floors, countertops, and in the spacious walk-in showers.
lobby
The most distinctive features of the lobby are its original palm beam ceilings, and a mural by noted artist C.C. Zamora, painted in 1935 during the height of the Mexican Muralism Movement.
pool
The pool is set on a scenic stone terrace, lined with lounge chairs, and shaded by palm trees and other colorful flora.
dining
Chef Patrick “Patricio” Mullen’s eclectic bill of fare at La Copa Cocina, the on-site restaurant, includes platters featuring fresh local seafood, comfort food favorites like baby back ribs, and the ever-popular Chicken Nagoya, a Japanese style specialty dish.
Seating options range from the breezy garden patio to the intimate indoor Iguana Lounge.
drinking
La Copa, the bar just off the lobby, boasts beautiful old wooden fixtures and furnishings, as well as a wide array of wine and tequila tasting choices.
LOCATION
Getting Around
The inn is conveniently close to the pueblo mágico’s many downtown art galleries, as well boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Rental cars are a necessity for trips to local beaches, and to regional day trip destinations like Los Cabos and La Paz.
Restaurants
The downtown area is home to three superb courtyard dining spots: at the Italian eatery Café Santa Fe (2-minute walk to Calle Centenario); at traditional Mexican cuisine specialist Los Adobes de Todos Santos (5-minute walk to Calle Hidalgo); and at La Coronela, inside the Hotel California (5-minute walk to Calle Benito Juárez).
WHY WE LIKE IT
Historic art and red brick architecture, antique furnishings, and a central downtown location are among the chief charms of this boutique inn. The building was originally constructed during the 1870s, during Todos Santos’ heyday as a regional sugarcane capital.
