Why Everyone Is Suddenly Going to Todos Santos, Mexico

The new Hotel San Cristóbal is located on a previously undeveloped fishing beach about 15 minutes south of Todos Santos, and is the first international project from famed Texas hotelier Liz Lambert. Her Bunkhouse Group is known for its highly photogenic boutique properties in Austin and Marfa—hotels that helped put those places on the map for a certain style-savvy, nomadic set. And, now, just one month after opening its doors, the Hotel San Cristóbal is topping that same set of travelers’ collectsive list of must visits hotels—and generating a healthy amount of buzz elsewhere too.
