Inn of the Turquoise Bear

11/03/2026

Some gifts end up in a drawer by February. Ours end up in Santa Fe.

An Inn of the Turquoise Bear gift certificate unwraps slowly, beginning with a lingering gourmet breakfast near our terraced gardens.

The final layer comes in the evening, beside a fireplace. It suits an anniversary rather nicely, and a long-overdue thank-you even better.

Fall is settling into Santa Fe, and there's still time to come see it.

Come visit us while the season lasts. Book a few nights before it turns to winter.

One dinner can't properly capture a Santa Fe romance.

We point guests toward Santacafé for candlelight and a 19th-century courtyard.

Restaurant Martin chefs are known for their tasting menu built from his own garden, and Rio Chama for a bottle worth lingering over.

The full list, with reservations worth making, is on the blog now.

**There's something magical about Santa Fe after the rain. 🌧️🌿**

After a few days of much-needed rain, we woke up to the most beautiful morning here at the Turquoise Bear.

The gardens are refreshed, the air feels crisp and clean, and everything seems just a little more vibrant. In a place where rain is such a precious gift, mornings like this are especially wonderful.

Sometimes Mother Nature gives us the perfect reminder to slow down and appreciate the little things. 💚

**Is there anything better than the smell of the earth after a good rain?**

Sometimes, the best part of traveling is finding a place that makes you want to slow down. 🌿

We were delighted to see the Inn of the Turquoise Bear featured this month in Real Food Traveler, alongside Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado, in an article exploring two very different but exceptional places to stay in Santa Fe.

Writer Jimmy McDonough takes readers through our gardens, our historic adobe rooms, and even a morning at our breakfast table.

But what we loved most was the way he captured something we hope every guest experiences here: the simple pleasure of slowing down and enjoying the moment.

His advice to future guests?

“Allow yourself to slow down enough to receive them.”

From quiet mornings in the garden to conversations around the breakfast table, these are the moments that make the Turquoise Bear special.

We invite you to read his wonderful account of his stay and discover the Inn through a traveler's eyes.

A guest recently described her stay as feeling like her own place, coffee and cookies always out, the staff present but never hovering. She came with food allergies and left saying she could finally feast without worry.

When an injury required daily ice, we made sure it was available.

Reviews like this one, from CSG on TripAdvisor, are the reason we do this.

Three days are enough if you spend them right. Settle into an adobe room and homemade treats on arrival, then dinner at La Choza for the green chile locals actually order.

Morning two starts in the Railyard among the galleries, market day or not. Save the last morning for Museum Hill and lunch next door before you go.

We put the whole route on the blog. Check it out and plan your stay.

Six days, one screen after another, and every seat in the house full of people who came for the same reason.

The Santa Fe International Film Festival runs October 14–19, bringing independent and international cinema to a city that takes film seriously.

And we will have a room close enough to walk to every screening.
