This was my first time to Santa Fe and I adored it! The property is BEAUTIFUL! The hotel is full of Art, history and beautiful architecture. The ambiance is pure Santa Fe. The price is so worth it. The Bell tower bar was a fun experience for sunset. We did not know, but there are tours (open to the public) but you need to sign up with concierge. Service was excellent! All staff encountered were very friendly and helpful! I am already planning another stay!

We had a lovely stay at La Fonda! The location was perfect and we enjoyed everything there was to do and see in the Plaza area. We loved our room with a beautiful view of the church and a very comfortable bed. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Our quick trip to Santa Fe was just what we had hoped. We definitely recommend La Fonda on the Plaza!
