Hotel La Fonda de Taos

MY CUP OF TEA MIGHT NOT BE YOURS First, we enjoyed our stay here.
There are only 2 reasons to stay here: 1. You like old, historic buildings and the quirkiness they provide; 2. You like the location of being in the midst of a very old section of town and directly on the Plaza. We, fortunately, enjoy both reasons.
If you are expecting luxury, high class amenities, attention to every detail of comfort, this is not your place.
We had a 2 room "suite". However, the first room was strangely equipped with one tv, two uncomfortable chairs, a wet bar, a table with a coffee pot, and a Murphy bed.
The second room, the actual bedroom, had a very comfortable bed, a tv, 2 nightstands, and a table. The window looked out on the wall of the next-door building.
Our room was quiet and we had a wonderful, rest night.
The bathroom was small, but very clean. There were plenty of towels, but only one wash cloth.
Both rooms were very clean and actually did not smell old and musty like some buildings of this age do.
The desk clerk was polite and friendly. Check in was easy as well as parking.
Because of the time of year, I think, most of the shops on the Plaza closed at 4p.m.
The restaurants nearby stayed open later.
Old town Taos is like stepping into another time, very unique.
New Taos is modern. They even have a What-a-Burger!
If you like Western history, Native American history and Mexican-American history, this is a great place to visit.

Fun Went skiing with my wife. Hotel stay was comfortable and relaxing. Staff was helpful, parking nearby, and room was clean.

Love the location on the Plaza. Plenty of food choices and shopping. Rooms are adequate staff is friendly and helpful. It is as described historic hotel. Don't expect luxury. It's comfortable and lived in. I would recommend. I feel grateful I was able to enjoy the history and arts just by walking out the front door.

With a broken heart, yet full of joy, nice bedding I went to a 1st cousins funeral. I grow up in Taos and never stayed at La Fonda. I enjoyed my stay, only thing there was no local channels from ABQ on the tv menu, so I went downtowns and have a few beers and enjoyed that. The owner of the restaurant did give me m condolence on my cousin passing away. A cousin died in October and I stayed at the Taos Inn, where they had better entertainment, yet La Fonda was also a treat to stay at.

I just stepped in to ask a few questions and if this is the level of kindness you get when you’re just some non-customer, I can only begin to image what an entire stay here must be like.

Right in the middle of the plaza but I would highly recommend booking it online. I think I booked it with the Agoda and saved half the price. I think the room was $180 a night and I got it for $90
It’s an old hotel with small rooms but nice feels like you’re in the old West

We stayed there last night. It was okay. I couldn't get my wi-fi to work in our room and the front desk person wasn't really helpful. We were facing the Plaza, and the noise of the traffic and police cars was loud. It did quiet down some later on. I went to look at the display of DH Lawrence paintings and listened to the 10 minute audio about him. Kind of an odd guy but interesting. The room was clean and pleasant.

An Unforgettable Stay Where History Meets Hospitality.

​If you are looking for the quintessential Taos experience, look no further than Hotel La Fonda de Taos. From the moment I stepped off the historic Plaza and into the lobby, I felt like I had been transported to a more gracious, enchanting era.

You simply cannot beat this location. Being right on the Taos Plaza means you are seconds away from the best galleries, shops, and restaurants the town has to offer. Despite being in the center of the action, the hotel itself felt like a serene sanctuary—a quiet, adobe-walled retreat from the world.

Memorable, cozy, comfortable and fun! This historic gem of a hotel has hosted many famous writers and illustrious people staying or frequenting this property is amazing a definite stop of history buffs! It’s cozy, comfortable, renovated-the staff is extremely helpful and accommodating-adding to an extraordinary stay one highly recommended to those whom love sleeping in history or not! Thank you 🙏🏼 Hotel La Fonda de Taos!

Exceptional location and reasonably priced I've had the pleasure of staying at this hotel three times now. The location is exceptional, with clean and comfortable accommodations. The hotel services are fantastic and the price is reasonable for the area. Since my last visit, they've added a standalone restaurant, which serves good quality food, though the service lacked hospitality. The hotel previously only had a cafe, which still serves an excellent breakfast. I believe it's unfair to rate the restaurant and hotel together. During our stay, the hotel hosted a small art fair, providing a wonderful opportunity to meet local artists.
