Dating back to 1802, La Doña Luz Inn is a one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast that has been lovingly restored while preserving its distinctive Southwestern character, with adobe walls, handcrafted New Mexican woodwork, vigas and latillas, and an eclectic collection of Native American art, Spanish colonial antiques and local treasures.

Rooms and suites are individually decorated, each with its own artistic character and a distinctly Taos feel. All feature private bathrooms with some offering Jacuzzi bathtubs, adobe fireplaces, private balconies or patios and mountain views. In-room amenities include air conditioning, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, DVD players and complimentary Wi-Fi. Among the most distinctive accommodations are the Rainbow Room, a penthouse suite with a private rooftop deck and hot tub; La Madonna, with a carved private balcony overlooking the mountains; and the ground-floor Yellow Bird Deer and Red Willow suites, which feature collections of Native American artwork and artefacts.

On-site, La Doña Luz Inn provides a peaceful garden, shared lounge and sun terrace, creating inviting spaces to relax between exploring Taos and the surrounding mountains. A delicious homemade breakfast is available each morning, while complimentary parking adds to the convenience of a stay. With Taos Plaza, galleries and the historic centre of town just moments away, the inn makes an atmospheric base for experiencing the art, culture and landscapes of northern New Mexico.

Our expert's opinion

“It’s not often one gets to stay in a property that is in such a convenient location, but La Doña Luz truly can’t be beat! The inn is cosy and eclectic and the staff and breakfast were delightful.”
