Taos

Santa Fe is not a conventional luxury destination. It does not compete on scale or spectacle. What it offers instead is a form of deliberate, place-specific refinement that is increasingly rare in the American hospitality landscape. The city has maintained its Pueblo Revival architectural code since the early twentieth century, which means that virtually every structure, from a government building to a five-star property, is built in adobe or adobe-style construction. The result is a physical environment of unusual coherence: warm earth tones, rounded forms, deep-set windows, and interiors flooded with the particular quality of high-desert light that has drawn artists and collectors to the region for over a century.
