The property includes Del Charro Saloon, a ground-floor restaurant popular among locals, serving New Mexican cuisine and signature margaritas. Guest rooms offer hand-carved furnishings, Spanish artwork, local tinwork, and Talavera-tiled showers, with select rooms featuring wood-burning kiva fireplaces and private balconies. The 86-degree outdoor heated pool operates year-round from 9 AM to 9 PM. Inn Of The Governors provides a complimentary Mountain Sunrise breakfast buffet featuring New Mexican specialties, and hosts a daily sherry and biscochitos hour from 4-5 PM. Located steps from the historic plaza district, the property sits within walking distance of museums, galleries, shops, and landmark buildings.
