Lovely, historic hotel in a great location. We were so happy we stayed there. No spa but there is a small massage room and the masseuse was quite good. Restaurant was great. We had a great time in the bar on Friday night. Great margaritas and fun band to dance to. More

The hotel is wonderful. Location cannot be beat. The rooms have that historic feel with all the modern conveniences of a luxury hotel. There is just so much of the Southwest's history captured in this hotel. Pool and hot tub area is clean and so inviting. Parking can be an issue- just be patient. More

The La Fonda still evokes the old charm of this unique city. There are newer and probably better but nothing nicer or uniquely Santa Fean as the La Fonda. It's the Times Square of SF, everybody passes through when visiting SF whether staying there or elsewhere. The restaurant and bar are great gathering places and Sunday morning breakfast in the...

The La Fonda is a beautiful hotel. The main issue was that the rooms needed a bit of updating. Because the decor in the room was so old, I had significant trouble with my allergies. Given my sensitivity to mold and dustmites, the old carpet and furniture was not good. Also, the La Fonda has one of the smallest fitness... More

First off, I must admit that my husband and I are hotel snobs. We pay good money and expect the best. We have both traveled the world extensively and have stayed in many many hotels. With all that snobbishness off my chest, we must say that La Fonda (stayed Feb 2012) has been absolutely wonderful. The margaritas in the restaurant... More

We have just completed a 3 weeks trip around Arizona and New Mexico. We stayed the longest that we stayed anywhere in La Fonda on the Plaza, 4 nights. It also cost the most per night of all of our hotels and I stayed in much better, but for less money. We thought it was quite a nice hotel but... More

My wife and I stayed here from Oct 8 to Oct 12, 2011. We were part of a group of 12 for a family reunion. We had a number of bad experiences while we were there. The first problem was that there was no hair dryer in the room. We called Sat night and were told one would be delivered... More

I am so sorry that your stay at La Fonda did not live up to your expectations. Your review came as quite a surprise, as it paints a distinct contrast from the comments we typically receive from guests. I understand that on occasion we miss the mark, but it seems in this case we missed the target completely. You deserve... More

I had the pleasure of spending the past few days at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. From the moment I entered the parking garage to the time I walked out the door to say good-bye it was a exceptional experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The facility has an old Santa Fe charm that set the... More

I was at first taken aback by the adobe finish walls as they appear old. I also felt that the bathroom could use some updating. I stayed for 8 nights and part way through these were all forgiven. There was a large walk-in closet and the king bed is covered in clean white luxurious linens. The maid staff did a... More

We traveled to Santa Fe for business and added an extra day because the accomodations at La Fonda were so relaxing. Great location, great restuarant and great hotel. More
