La Dona Luz Inn An Historic B&B - A 200-year-old adobe inn with rooftop hot tub, art gallery ambiance, and mountain views

Housed in a historic 200-year-old adobe structure, this boutique Taos hotel showcases original fine art and authentic Native American artifacts throughout its 8 air-conditioned rooms. Each accommodation at La Dona Luz Inn features a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and coffee maker, while select rooms include mountain-view balconies and full kitchens. The property maintains a rooftop hot tub for year-round stargazing, a flower-filled patio, and a dining room with an ancient adobe fireplace. An on-site parking area accommodates standard passenger vehicles, with a limit of one vehicle per room. Located steps from Taos Plaza, the property sits within 0.3 miles of multiple restaurants and galleries, including the R.C. Gorman Navajo Gallery and Governor Bent House Museum. The Taos Ski Valley Resort is a 20-minute drive away, while Taos Regional Airport is 9.5 miles from the property.

Pros

“This historic inn struck me as a genuine reflection of Taos, with its adobe structure showcasing original artwork. The rooftop hot tub offers panoramic views of the mountain, and that alone is memorable. I appreciate the owner's personal touch and dedication to New Mexican heritage, making it more than just a stay, but an immersive experience.”
