More information on The Historic Taos Inn
It's rare to see a hotel that has withstood the years with grace, but the Historic Taos Inn has done just that. Here, you'll be surrounded by 20th-century luxury without ever forgetting that you're within the thick walls of a number of 19th-century Southwestern homes. Dr. Thomas Paul Martin, the town's first physician, purchased the complex in 1895. In 1936, a year after the doctor's death, his widow, Helen, enclosed the plaza -- now the inn's darling two-story lobby -- and turned it into a hotel. In 1981-82, the inn was restored; it's now listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places.The lobby doubles as the Adobe Bar, a popular local gathering place, with adobe bancos (benches) and a sunken fireplace, all surrounding a wishing well that was once the old town well. A number of rooms open onto a balcony that overlooks this area. If you like community and don't mind the sound of jazz and flamenco drifting up toward your room, these rooms are for you. However, if you appreciate solitude and silence, request one of the courtyard rooms downstairs. All the rooms are unique and comfortable, decorated with Spanish colonial art, Taos-style furniture, and interesting touches, such as hand-woven Oaxacan bedspreads and little niches decorated with Mexican pottery; many rooms have fireplaces. A wireless Internet connection is available in the lobby.I should note that in recent years I've had complaints from guests about the temperamental nature of these old buildings. You may encounter problems such as windows not staying open and some not having screens. Doc Martin's, with nouveau Southwestern cuisine and a hint of Asia, is a good bet for dinner. Facilities: Restaurant; bar; seasonal outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; room service; coffee or refreshments in lobby Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
