The Best Hotels Near Hotel Willa, by the Record

The vintage radios in the rooms are tuned to KNCE, Taos's local station, which tells you exactly what kind of hotel this is. A converted adobe motor lodge just outside the historic district, it kept the original viga ceilings and thick walls, then layered in handwoven textiles and local ceramics. A tie-in with the Paseo Project means rotating art and an artist-in-residence program, so the walls aren't just decorated, they're argued over.

Casitas scattered across 57 acres of high desert, each with a kiva fireplace and a private terrace, give this Four Seasons the feel of a small compound rather than a hotel. The Southwest decor is restrained enough that you won't feel like you wandered into a gift shop. A shuttle runs to Santa Fe proper, though the spa and the Sangre de Cristo views make a strong case for staying put. Forbes Four Star.
