"Blessed before its opening by a Pueblo medicine man, a Franciscan priest, and a local artist to represent the diverse cultures of the area, this downtown adobe hotel has a tangible warmth to it. A quarter block from the Plaza and Palace of the Governors, the location can’t be beat. Designed with sandstone and earth tones, the walls showcase works by contemporary Native American artists including Dan Namingha and Doug Coffin, while touches like gnarled wrought iron lamps appear throughout. Rooms have gaslit kiva fireplaces, hand-carved four-poster beds, and ceilings with pine vigas. Anasazi Restaurant dishes up Southwestern fare such as grilled elk tenderloin and achiote chile–roasted duck breast, focusing on seasonal ingredients, fish, and local produce." - CNT Editors
