$-$$$, Taos
Fodor's Review:
Mere steps from Taos Plaza, the inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Spanish-colonial-style architecture including decorative alcoves in rooms provides an authentic feel to this atmospheric property that consists of four buildings, including the upscale Helen's House, which was added in 2006 and contains eight posh rooms. Many units have thick adobe walls, viga ceilings, and other elements typical of vintage Taos architecture. In summer there's dining alfresco on the patio. The lobby, which also serves as seating for the Adobe Bar, is built around an old town well from which a fountain bubbles forth. Many shops and eateries are within walking distance of the inn, and the restaurant, Doc Martin's, is popular with locals.
