This is our Luxury pick in Taos, New Mexico. It suits couples on a special trip, spa lovers and families who want facilities on site, since family rooms are listed. It is also the only one of our three Taos picks with the Harwood Museum of Art within a short walk.
Skip it if price comes first. On the reference dates it cost nearly twice as much as our Budget and Best Value picks, while Hotel Luna Mystica scored higher.
The data tags it as pet friendly, but the pet terms are not confirmed.
Location and getting around
The resort is at 317 Kit Carson Road, with a location score of 9.3.
The Harwood Museum of Art is about 0.9 km away, around 11 minutes on foot. San Francisco de Asís Mission Church is about 6 km away, roughly 75 minutes on foot, so that one is far and you will need a car or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates that have not been checked on the ground. Parking is not listed in our data, so ask the resort whether it offers parking and what it costs.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 471 reviews, sharing second place among 6 eligible hotels. It has the largest review base of our three Taos picks, which makes the score fairly reliable.
Beyond the score, specific guest likes and dislikes are not confirmed in our data. We cannot tell you what guests praise or complain about. Read recent reviews for comments on rooms, service, the spa and value for money before you commit.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was about €207.83 per night, around €416 for the two nights. That is well above the sample median of €155.22 per night. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hampton Inn Taos, was about €113.79 per night with an 8.1 score. Our Best Value pick, Hotel Luna Mystica, was about €115.62 per night with a 9.0 score. Both are 3 stars.
For the extra money you get a fourth star and the longest list of facilities in our Taos picks: a spa and wellness centre, a pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, as listed. Breakfast details are not confirmed, so ask whether it is offered and included.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Taos. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels come first, and a four-star hotel must score at least 8.5. With 4 stars and 8.8 from 471 reviews, this resort clears that bar.
The facilities and the short walk to the Harwood Museum of Art set it apart from our other two Taos choices.
