9. Rosewood San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel de Allende is the perfect Thanksgiving host, so eager to please its estadounidense visitors that it has a dozen good restaurants serving full-on turkey-cranberry-pumpkin-pie extravaganzas. But we really come to Mexico to revel in the late-autumn pleasure of this glorious colonial town–18th-century architecture, cobbled streets, cascading church bells, soft clear mountain light. Newest reason to visit: Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, with its 67 elegant rooms, spa, and 2 pools all located a quick walk from pretty Parque Juárez and a slightly longer walk from the center of town. There's also the hotel's 1826 restaurant-bar, whose 120 tequilas should keep you giving thanks well into the night. From $350 U.S.; rosewoodsanmiguel.com
