One of the original hotels along the Santa Fe Railway, La Posada remains one of the great places along Route 66.
Designed in the 1920s in the style of the great haciendas of the Southwest, it has a distinctly Spanish and Mexican feel, with its high exposed wooden roof beams giving a sense of grandeur from a bygone era. A museum and gallery in its own right, the hotel exhibits many photographs and items from its past throughout the property.
OUR OPINION:
La Posada offers guests much more than just a hotel stay. The rooms come with somewhat basic facilities, and the railway line behind the property may affect the lighter sleeper. However, the historical nature and uniqueness of this hotel more than make up for any shortcomings.
