Review

The intimate Inn on the Alameda is a good choice for travelers who want to be centrally based (it is within walking distance of the Plaza and Canyon Road) but don’t want to pay five-star prices. Opened in 1986 and privately owned since, the Alameda is not as polished as, say, the Inn of the Anasazi, but the vibe is authentic Santa Fe: artsy, laid-back and congenial. The Southwestern decor doesn’t feel phony; rather, the Mexican wicker furniture in the lobby, the dried bunches of chiles suspended from the ceiling, the exposed vigas (beams) in the cozy dining room and the bookshelves lined with regional titles all add to the lived-in, homey atmosphere. Friendly staff members make every effort to get to know guests and their preferences.

The seventy-two adobe-style guest rooms and suites, scattered throughout five buildings, range in age, but most of the deluxe rooms and all twelve suites have been refurbished and feature handmade armoires, Talavera-tiled bathrooms and wrought-iron light fixtures. And most have a wood-burning or gas kiva fireplace. Suites contain a separate living area with a sleeper sofa – a great touch for families or friends traveling together. For the best rooms, ask to be on a top floor with a terrace. The property, which snakes along Alameda Street, is beautifully planted with aspens, climbing rose vines and cottonwoods, but be aware that while adobe walls gate the grounds, you are also very close to one of the busiest streets in town (a consideration for families with small children).

Who Should Stay

 Those who want to feel like they’re staying in the lovely home of a good friend in Santa Fe should choose Inn on the Alameda.
