Book from $179

La Fonda on the Plaza holds a coveted place in Santa Fe history, a component in a rich tapestry of hospitality that predates American independence. City records indicate that La Fonda sits on the site of the town's first inn, established when the city was founded by Spaniards in 1607, making our property the oldest hotel corner in America.

Vibrant and eclectic, La Fonda's history can be traced back 400 years. In 1821, Captain William Becknell and his party found their way to the La Fonda during the maiden commercial route across the plains from Missouri, establishing the Santa Fe Trail as well as La Fonda's reputation for hospitality. Throughout the 19th century, La Fonda quickly became the preferred lodging option among trappers, soldiers, gold seekers, gamblers and politicians. The adobe structure changed hands several times as the years progressed, enduring milestones such as the Civil War, railroad expansion and New Mexico statehood, while maintaining its status as a Santa Fe landmark.

The centrally located La Fonda on the Plaza, with Santa Fe mountain views, features an outdoor pool, rooftop hot tub and spa. Guest rooms offer flat-screen cable TVs and free Wi-Fi.

Rooms provide desks, safety deposit boxes and ironing facilities. They also have bathrobes and hairdryers.

A gym, business center and meeting rooms are available to guests at La Fonda. The hotel offers an on-site restaurant and bar.

La Fonda is less than a half mile from St. Francis Cathedral Basilica, Palace of the Governors Museum and New Mexico Museum of Art. It is also within walking distance of New Mexico State Monuments.
