Lonely Planet "Visitors enjoy the quiet now, but this expansive adobe palace, built by local legend Witter Bynner and partner Robert Hunt, was once home to legendary parties." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Just blocks from the Plaza and close to the Opera, the Inn of the Turquoise Bear is surrounded by an acre of terraces, gardens full of lilacs and roses, and tall pines." Full review
Gayot "The home, parts of which date to the mid-19th-century, hosted such luminaries as Errol Flynn, D.H. Lawrence, Willa Cather, Georgia O'Keefe, and Ansel Adams."
DK Eyewitness "An historic, rambling adobe villa surrounded by gardens, this elegant inn is a tribute to its owner, Witter Brynner, and his literary and artistic friends."

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.

Jetsetter "Santa Fe mainstay in a landmark Pueblo Revival building, with a restaurant, spa and mountain views." Full review
