La Fonda on the Plaza
New Mexico
La Fonda on the Plaza stands directly on Santa Fe's historic plaza, placing the hotel within the city's art and architectural life. Original artwork appears in every guest room, while hand-painted motifs extend through the public spaces. The windows painted by Ernest Martinez in La Plazuela are a particularly distinctive feature. La Plazuela occupies the hotel's former 1920s outdoor patio and serves Northern New Mexican cooking. The seasonal Bell Tower Bar offers cocktails at sunset, adding an elevated outdoor setting. Terracotta tiles, hammered-tin chandeliers and preserved design details keep the hotel's history visible alongside its accommodation and dining.
