My husband and I stayed two nights at La Fonda (23rd & 24th of December), and we couldn't be more pleased. The location was ideal, and the hotel itself was quaint, warm, cozy & vintage- yet not falling apart, we had everything we needed in our room. The staff were very friendly, especially Brenda & Jeremy at the front desk & the concierge, Nancy, was incredibly helpful and provided assistance with last minute dinner reservations and tips on how early to arrive for the Christmas Eve midnight mass service.
The restaurant food was authentic & delicious, and we also ordered room service Christmas morning which arrived earlier than promised despite how busy the restaurant was preparing for the Christmas brunch.
We were very pleased with the stay, and will definitely try and stay here again next time we come to Santa Fe. Although we don't have children yet, the hotel appears to be very family friendly and wouldn't hesitate to come back with children.

My family and I have stay at the La Fonda every time we visit Santa Fe which is usually several times a year. We like to stay on the La Terraza floor. On our last stay we were thoroughly disappointed by the lack of respect shown to us by most of the management. After failing to honor the original room price they quoted us, the preceded to talk down to us like children. Even the general manager could not give us an explanation as to why our rooms were more expensive than our friend's room who stayed the exact same time and booked a year in advance as we did. We are saddened that the hotel suffers from extremely poor management. Needless to say we are going to try a new hotel on our next visit.

This is an older property, but it has much charm. Handpainted furniture, cozy rooms, great beds and pillows linen. Bathrooms are small, but okay. Service is wonderful. We did not have internet access for almost an entire day, for some reason, and we were given a comp dinner - from appetizers and drinks to an excellent entree', dessert and coffee. The main restaurant is great. The cafe offers a lunch buffet with delicious Mexican food. There is also a wonderful pastry shop/coffee house. You can walk everywhere from La Fonda. It's so central! We are definitely going back. Staff impressed us! Power went out for a couple of hours and the staff made sure everyone was okay, were apologetic (apparently when it rains, that part of Santa Fe has some issues with power from time to time). All in all, a great stay. We were told by friends that La Fonda could be 'noisy', but we did not experience that at all.

I went to Santa Fe for Georgia O;Keeffe's 125th birthday. La Fonda had a special for 5 days which they had emailed me as I was on their email list. They keep track of potential guests. Good idea.
They are on the main plaza and extremely convenient. From check-in to check-out , they were great. Professional. Room was excellent, clean, great bathroom and decorated in good southwest design. That 'package' special included a full breakfast in the main dining room. I ate most dinners there also and the food was excellent. Wait staff great and friendly. The decor is georgeous and tasteful Southwest. There were lots of families.I would recommend it highly.
