normally I love lafonda. However ive had nasty contact with the head bar-tender, very agressive and un plesant. the say the least. In the last years, the management has changed, and the friendly atmosphere has dried up,

Go to the 5th floor, step out to the bell tower bar. Best view of city. We had table overlooking the city. Drinks a bit expensive but worth it to have the view. Best time sunset
This place captures the feel of the Santa Fe of earlier years. Stay here to understand what Santa Fe is and how it came to be.
On a more practical level -- you are right on the Plaza and great discounts are available in the off seasons.

Out of this world
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/14/08
We adored everthing about it in 1985 and it took us until 2006 before we had a chance to go there again and take our Texas - Frederickskburg friends with us, there they saw some old friends from Dallas, so we have many happy memories of the unique dining room with the surrounding glass panels. Can't think of a better place to have a meal. It is truely out of this world!!. I would like to be able to go there every year.
In the charming downtown Plaza. This hotel provides the perfect atmosphere to visit Santa Fe New Mexico. It has excellent service and the historic cathedral is directly across the street!

OUTSTANDING!!!!

We loved being downtown so we could walk the square, see the Christmas decoations, shop and not have the hassle of driving and parking. When we were done, we were already "home." It's a beautiful, historical building. We stay in a lot of hotels. This one is superb. It was comfortable, convenient, and I'm just so glad we stayed there.
