Inn Of The Governors

“This Inn is a Truly Magical Place in the Heart of Santa Fe”

This really was a special place to have as a base. Loved the many flower boxes and festival of flowers on the balconies, with mountains visible in the distance.

This really was a special place to have as a base. Loved the many flower boxes and festival of flowers on the balconies, with mountains visible in the distance. The sherry, tea and bizcochito social hour was such a warm touch, giving guests an opportunity to meet each other and staff. Spending time by the heated pool was such a pleasure in a beautiful floral setting. Staff was warm, helpful and welcoming; the bedrooms had terrific local art. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. The Inn is also well-located, only a few blocks from the Plaza. Magical.

“Absolutely outstanding hotel experience!”

From making reservations to checking out, every step of every encounter with this hotel was excellent!

From making reservations to checking out, every step of every encounter with this hotel was excellent! The room was immaculate, and the hotel’s location, only three blocks from Santa Fe’s Plaza, is fabulous, because you can walk to almost anywhere you want to go! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. And the breakfast was wonderful — menu-ordered, rather than the hassles of going through a buffet-line. Amazingly good coffee, too, and we’re picky about our coffee! This will be our hotel of choice for every future visit we make to Santa Fe; you’ll love it too.

“Favorite Hotel in Santa Fe 🌶️”

I recently attended a lecture at the Lensic Theater in Santa Fe. I looked for a nearby hotel and was so pleased that I chose the Inn of the Governors. The location is only a couple blocks from the plaza and near the shops, restaurants and museums. The hotel/motel is wonderfully maintained and has cozy common areas and lovely landscaping. The floral window boxes are amazing. The Inn is over 60 years old and has the New Mexico charm missing from newer hotels. The rooms have tin work vanity containers, Navajo style blankets, rustic wood and leather furniture, hand painted mirrors, and a tinwork ice bucket. At check- in you will also receive a four page information guide to the area. The packet includes two maps ( northern New Mexico and downtown Santa Fe) as well as a comprehensive restaurant guide and hotel information. The staff is very welcoming and helpful— even finding me a band- aid and some ointment in the front desk first aid kit. They also have a filtered water fountain in the lobby so visitors can easily fill water bottles. They seem to have thought of everything -including robes if you want to take a dip in the pool. The hotel also hosts a sherry and cookie hour each afternoon. The cookies offered yesterday were biscochitos - the New Mexico State cookie. This morning I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. Unlike hotels that provide a breakfast buffet—this meal is ordered from a menu. I had eggs, bacon, tortillas, orange juice, coffee and yogurt with granola. The parking is also complimentary. The bedding was comfortable, the air conditioning was quietly efficient and the room was spotless. I was charmed! My next visit will include a stay at the Inn of the Governors.

“Comfortable, great location, wonderful breakfasts”

First time staying here. As other reviewers note, this is in a great location near the plaza, many restaurants, shops, museums, the state Capitol. You can walk and just leave your car in the hotel's free parking. The complimentary cooked-to-order breakfasts were great at adjoining Del Charro (resta… more

First time staying here. As other reviewers note, this is in a great location near the plaza, many restaurants, shops, museums, the state Capitol. You can walk and just leave your car in the hotel's free parking. The complimentary cooked-to-order breakfasts were great at adjoining Del Charro (restaurant/bar) patio. We ate two dinners there as well, which were delicious and reasonably priced for Santa Fe. We had one of the smaller, older rooms, which was comfortable and nicely decorated in Southwestern style. It had a small refrigerator, chest of drawers, desk, stationery, two nice cotton robes in the closet, safe, iron and ironing board. The bath/shower was older and the tile around the faucet needed re-grouting or resealing, but was very clean, no mold. Didn't use the small pool, but patio area around it looked inviting. There's a free sherry and cookies reception in the afternoon. Saturday night around the plaza is very busy, lots of noisy vehicles (low-rider cars, motorcycles). Sunday and Monday nights were more quiet, thank goodness. The hotel thoughtfully supplies earplugs with the bathroom amenities! Staff is friendly and courteous - many of them have been there for decades. The flowers on the balconies are gorgeous.
