Local Art: Immersion into Taos' rich cultural history

“This historic B&B is a trove of New Mexican art and culture. Its location allows for easy strolls to the plaza and its many restaurants, and select rooms include kitchen facilities that add convenience. I find that the rooftop hot tub, with its panoramic mountain views, makes this inn a particularly appealing choice in Taos.”
