Fodor's "Just one block south of the Plaza, this stately three-story hotel retains a historic vibe but has been given a modern flair." Full review

"The 81-room upscale boutique, housed in a historic building two blocks the Santa Fe Plaza... features simple, mission-style decor inspired by the principles of St. Francis of Assisi." Full review
Star Service "In summer, the long, ground-floor veranda in front is one of the better people-watching sites in town; new seating makes it one of the comfiest, too." Full review
Gayot "If you're seeking a good value while still wanting historic character and convenience to downtown Santa Fe... this 1923 three-story hotel is a perfect choice."
Lonely Planet "All in all, it's retained its historic ambience, blending luxurious touches with a nicely underplayed Spanish missionary theme." Full review
Jetsetter "Historic but smartly updated Old World hotel in the heart of Santa Fe’s artsy, ancient Plaza district." Full review
Frommer's "Combining a simple, historic aesthetic with modern luxury. Pillar candles flicker on the plaster walls and wide stone floors in the lobby, while the rooms are sparely but tastefully decorated" Full review

Frommer's "The spacious, quiet rooms received a makeover in 2006, maintaining an artistic motif, with a warm feel created by custom-made furniture in all and kiva fireplaces in many." Full review

"The business-friendly four-pearl Eldorado offers the convenience of being just two blocks from the Plaza." Full review
Lonely Planet "Popular for meetings and weddings, this somewhat conventional hotel is located within walking distance of the plaza." Full review

Be sure to ask for a room on the north or east side for the best views (and resist being placed in a room above the noisy banquet hall).
Travel + Leisure "Across from the Georgia O'Keefe museum, and steps from the Plaza and Canyon Road, Eldorado Hotel carries the Pueblo Revival style through its cathedral-ceiling lobby and into each of the 219 rooms." Full review
Star Service "The Eldorado represents the best of the large, full-service hotels in and around the plaza, a well-equipped convention hotel that provides resortlike amenities in the middle of the action." Full review
Gayot "This pretty hotel won't disappoint visitors whove come to enjoy the city's decidedly Southwest ambiance. Kiva fireplaces adorn the Santa Fe-styled accommodations."

Book well in advance for the summer months.
Fodor's "The Eldorado sometimes gets a bad rap, but it's actually quite inviting, with individually decorated rooms and stunning mountain views." Full review
Jetsetter "Santa Fe mainstay in a landmark Pueblo Revival building, with a restaurant, spa and mountain views." Full review
