Why you should go…
Built in 1922 on the site of earlier inns dating back to the Santa Fe Trail era, La Fonda blends hand-carved furniture, tinwork, and local art into a hotel that still functions as a social hub for the plaza. Its rooftop bar is a favorite spot to watch the sunset over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
