Originally designed by Mary Colter in the late 1920s for the Santa Fe Railway, this architectural gem exudes Southwestern charm and elegance. The hotel has undergone preservation efforts to maintain its original grandeur while offering modern amenities.

One of La Posada’s standout features is its artistic ambiance. The hotel’s interior serves as a gallery for various artworks, including those by the resident artist. Guests can enjoy strolling through beautifully landscaped gardens or relaxing on outdoor patios that offer serene views. The Turquoise Room restaurant provides an authentic dining experience with its acclaimed regional cuisine.

For those eager to explore beyond the hotel grounds, La Posada’s location is advantageous. It’s within driving distance to iconic sites such as Meteor Crater and Petrified Forest National Park. Additionally, standing on the corner made famous by the Eagles’ song “Take It Easy” is only steps away.

The historic nature of the building does mean rooms may be smaller compared to modern standards and lack some contemporary luxuries like large TVs or air conditioning in all rooms. However, these are minor trade-offs for experiencing such a storied locale.
