Hotel San Cristóbal
Southern Baja has a stunning new addition–the San Cristóbal–located an hour north of bustling Los Cabos and 10mins from the magical town of Todos Santos. The hotel is the first international project by my favorite hotel guys, Bunkhouse.
I’ve been to this particular part of Baja many times over the years. I’ve always had a very special connection to the area; it’s rugged landscape with picture perfect cacti, and more than anything, the immediate freedom I feel from the rest of the world the minute I land.
I was protective of new buildings there, but I knew if anybody would do it with integrity, Bunkhouse would try their best. Just like all other Bunkhouse properties, the Hotel San Crisóbal taps into the local community. Guests are encouraged to get a sense of place through local-led wellness activities, yoga, hiking, surfing, etc. Visitors can even foster a local Baja rescue dog during their stay; which–ahem–lead to a happily wagging, three-legged addition to our flight back to the States.
The hotel only has 32 guest rooms, all designed slightly different. The look is minimalist, beach-y, and perhaps a bit 70s. The insane tile work throughout the property will make you want to tile (or re-tile) every available surface in your home. Visual candy abounds throughout all in-and outdoor spaces; luckily there’s also–in true Bunkhouse fashion–a perfectly curated store on property.
