Inn of the Turquoise Bear

This historic Inn is all the pictures and reviews say it is! My friend and I stayed in the DH Lawrence room. The mattress was very comfortable, the room was spacious and the bathroom was a generous size with wondered water pressure. We even lit a wood fire one night (firewood already in the room!). But our favorite amenity was the gourmet breakfasts! Everything was made to order- and they even keep the mugs on a warming plate! We made some good friends during breakfast and happy hour (that’s right… from 5-6 they serve very nice wine!!). One lady we met was staying here for the 5th time! I will absolutely stay here if I’m ever lucky enough to get back to Santa Fe! And … if Alex recommends something- do it! He is a wealth of knowledge!

Beautiful charming and comfortable inn. A lot of artistic history . Innkeepers are lovely and accommodating. Nice location. Fantastic breakfasts, daily wine hour.

The atmosphere is serene, and attention to detail is superb. The bed was so comfortable, I slept deeply. This was my solo getaway to contemplate, journal and walk around Santa Fe Plaza. I loved every moment, especially the amazing breakfasts with other friendly guests.

Santa Fe is a beautiful town in the middle of stunning scenic wonders that beckon exploration, so spending a night or two in an exquisite, yet cozy inn might seem unnecessary. I will tell you that not only is it necessary, without the Inn of the Turquoise Bear, you might be too overwhelmed or indecisive to make a plan to do as much as possible in what always amounts to too little time. Once you book your room, you get access to personalized recommendations for dining, hiking, recreation, and art and cultural experiences in and around Santa Fe. I designed my entire trip after consulting with the Inn's recommendations; I managed to spend most of my time hiking in places I otherwise would not have known about or chosen, thinking they might be too far or difficult to add on to other hikes and activities. I also ate incredibly well. These are the main reasons I travel anywhere without a beach: hiking in the mountains, history and culture, and eating local cuisine. I am so thankful for the resources the Inn offered because I was able to make the most out of my time. I couldn't be happier with my entire experience in New Mexico and I truly owe that to the Inn's hospitality team's dedication to detail. The Inn of the Turquoise Bear is charming and private; the landscape draws you into a beautiful and accessible shared space, with olfactory delight wafting from delicious home-baked goods, and books aplenty that highlight the uncountable treasures of your surroundings. I stayed in Edna St. Vincent Millay's spacious room, which was complete with private outdoor space, a sitting room with a desk, a fireplace, and a giant bathroom. As you would expect, it was spotless. Really, it was pristine (and this is one of the rooms that allows pets, so I was particularly impressed). The fireplace was prepped and came with helpful directions to keep it going and extra firewood and kindling. All of the amenities were wonderful, but outstanding was the bed and linens. I stayed in a number of places in Santa Fe and Taos and nowhere outside of the Inn of the Turquoise Bear did I find a bed that didn't immediately sink. The mattress was firm and beyond comfortable, the linens luxurious and warm. If that wasn't enough, the terrific coffee and locally sourced and freshly prepared breakfast (inclusive of dietary restrictions!) really made it impossible to leave. I can't wait to return to the Inn of the Turquoise Bear. It's romantic and quiet. The staff, every single person on it, is committed to ensuring a unique and exceptional stay. Thank you, again!

An exceptional stay, from the beautiful grounds and rooms, the breakfasts and afternoon treats and the location, everything was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing! Love the writer themed rooms as well. Only wish I could spend more time there.

Great location, quiet, ambience is perfect! Breakfast was delicious! I absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to return.
