Edward, United States of America

Historic hotel beautifully maintained in the heart of of old Santa Fe

Sandra, United States of America

The location is perfect, right in the center of town and the Plaza. Walking distance to most everything you'd want to see or do. We loved the history of the hotel and the design and decor which highlight the local Mexican/Native American meld of cultures.

Daniel, United States of America

Beautiful historic hotel. It has a lot of character and beautiful furnishings. Each room is decorated differently.

Tricia, United States of America

Always enjoy staying here. Love the food for both breakfast and dinner, love the atmosphere, love the service and love the location. Especially being so close to walk to the cathedral. And love all the little shops! The only tough part was trying to get to the hotel. No matter how many times we’ve been there. This year our gps suri even turned Us in the wrong direction. But once there we forgot about all of that!

Helen, United States of America

We traveled to Santa Fe to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We chose La Fonda for the location and long history. We were greeted by very polite and accommodating staff. Gabby checked us in quickly, upgraded our room and sent up a bottle of champagne to kick off our celebration. Our room was spacious but cozy, and equipped with a wood burning fireplace. We had a fire lit on one of the nights and enjoyed delicious room service twice while staying there. The staff were quick and polite. Our stay at La Fonda exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be coming back.

An Inside Look at La Fonda on the Plaza

La Fonda on the Plaza holds a coveted place in Santa Fe history, a component in a rich tapestry of hospitality that predates American independence. City records indicate that La Fonda sits on the site of the town's first inn, established when the city was founded by Spaniards in 1607, making our property the oldest hotel corner in America. Vibrant and eclectic, La Fonda's history can be traced back 400 years. In 1821, Captain William Becknell and his party found their way to the La Fonda during the maiden commercial route across the plains from Missouri, establishing the Santa Fe Trail as well as La Fonda's reputation for hospitality. Throughout the 19th century, La Fonda quickly became the preferred lodging option among trappers, soldiers, gold seekers, gamblers and politicians. The adobe structure changed hands several times as the years progressed, enduring milestones such as the Civil War, railroad expansion and New Mexico statehood, while maintaining its status as a Santa Fe landmark.
