we had a drink at the bar, listened to music, shopped in the book store and gift shops and explored the artifacts and architecture on display. We should have booked a room earlier but it had no vacancies when we arrived. We were ready to leave a hotel out on the highway for a room at about the same price--to... More

This is one of America's classic hotels. Currently a major renovation is underway and some facilities like the pool and rooftop lounge are not open. When booking a queen room early in the year for our May 23 arrival, I was given a very special rate to compensate for minor inconveniences. We were greeted immediately upon entering the adjoining garage,... More

The La Fonda has anchored one end of the Plaza in Santa Fe for decades. It is a large hotel but with Southwest charm. The entire hotel is undergoing a complete restoration to be completed in August 2013. This includes major renovation of the guest rooms including fabulous hand-painted headboards on all beds, a La Fonda tradition. Rooms are not... More

There is nothing bad to say about this hotel. We stayed in a newly renovated suite and could not have been happier. Dillon, at the front desk did an outstanding job getting us a room for a few nights. He was professional, helpful, and made our stay wonderful. Thank you Dillon!! Please stay at this hotel......restaurant is fabulous!

A beautiful two room suite with a wood burning fireplace. A private balcony with a great view of the mountians and dowwntown Santa Fe. Walking distance to everything. Highly recommend for a trip to the area.

la Fonda is in the middle of renovation. A lot of the amenities (pool, exercise room, spa, roof bar, business office, etc. ) were not available. However, the dining room and bar areas were open and the ambiance and food were great.... lots of activity and music. Our room (5th floor) looked out over the Loretta Church and we could... More

What a splendid and historic hotel! The place is undergoing much needed updating of rooms, scheduled for completion this summer. My room was fully renovated with a very modern bath, the usual amenities, and a small balcony--perfect for an evening drink and people-watching. Pluses for the hotel is the excellent restaurant--really one of Santa Fe's best--at reasonable prices--and the nice... More

The remodel/renovation at La Fonda is beautiful. The hotel exudes the same character and charisma of other great "old" hotels such as the Ahwahnee. Many in our travelling party had spectacular, newly renovated rooms. That said, the room we were assigned at check-in was not the grade room we reserved when reservations were made five months ago. It was a... More

I adored this hotel. The history, the artwork, La Plazuela restaurant, the great shops attached to the building, the margaritas, the location, the rooms! Those perfectly appointed rooms on the renovated fifth floor, with a real wood burning fireplace stocked daily! The tile work is stunning, and that bathtub! Heaven. I appreciated having a fridge in the room. I also... More
