Well located. Charming old world decor with nice atmosphere. Clean well appointed rooms. Loved the Nespresso coffee and Tazo teas in the room. Enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We had a nice view and a small terrace to sit on. There is a parking lot right at the hotel which was very convenient.

The unique decor, which features a slightly old-fashioned Southwestern aesthetic, has been maintained. There's artwork everywhere, and La Fonda highlights its--and Santa Fe's--history. This hotel has more character than any other I know of.
