La Fonda on the Plaza

Excellent

From $273

Historic Hotel

Arguably the oldest hotel corner in America, dating back to the Spaniard foundation in 1607, it boasts rich history and atmosphere. With its expansive 400 year history, it was the go-to lodging among trappers, soldiers, gold-seekers, gamblers and politicians. During the Civil War, New Mexico statehood and railroad expansion, the hotel structure changed and developed over time while still maintaining some key architectural elements. In 1922, it received its first modern iteration despite the changing owners. When it was leased to Fred Harvey, he turned it to one of his Harvey House gems until 1968. During that time, it was a vital piece in the puzzle of turning the wild west into a more progressive and inclusive region to women and people of color.

From $137

In the 1900s, the city of Ashville was known for being the best place in the US to treat tuberculosis due to the climate of the area. The three-story hotel was therefore built to house the families of the patients being treated nearby. Built by registered nurse Anne O’Connell (dubbed the "princess" due to her flowing red hair and charismatic nature) and financed by Doctor Karl von Ruck, the hotel opened its doors in 1924 and was named “Princess Anne” after nurse O'Connell's nickname.

Overall, this historic setting offers a super cute and quaint experience for those looking to step back in time and imagine the house and area from older days.
