Beautiful hotel with many Southwest pictures and other artifacts. Service was outstanding. Lot's of history associated with the hotel. One cannot get a better location in Santa Fe - everything is close by.

Great hotel - wonderfully historic with art & sculpture everywhere. Only downsides were staff - some great but others cold and unwelcoming - and lack of wifi in some areas (ie. complete lack of wi-fi in our room).

This is an A+ classy property. Go back in time with the look, but everything is modern! The french pastry place on site was a bonus for breakfast!
Edmund, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful room, fantastic location

I was upgraded to a Terrace room and it was seriously one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in (and I have a high bar). Everything was perfectly appointed. Original New Mexican art on the walls. Bespoke furniture and textiles. Glassware, toiletries, all very nicely done. Will definitely stay here again.

My first time here but I'll be back! Excellent location with easy parking (hard to find for Santa Fe). Dog friendly (my standard poodle Nero was a hit with staff and other guests). My son and I ate in the lobby bar and had excellent food and the best Margarita I've ever had. Highly recommended place to stay!

I especially liked my personal cellphone based concierge who helped me with everything including the address of the best gourmet grocery store where I could buy locally sourced goods to take home! Ivy was the BEST!
