From the moment you walk into the reception room with its thick adobe walls, built between 1800-1820, see the folk art furnishings and smell muffins baking, you'll know this is a place for relaxation and enjoyment. From El Paradero's location on a downtown sidestreet, you may explore the historic heart of Santa Fe. The inn is Conde Nast's Deal of the Month selection, Dec 2001.
Amenities
El Paradero has fourteen guest rooms, nine on the ground level around the courtyard, three upstairs and two suites in an adjacent 1912 double brick coachman's house which is on the New Mexico state list of Significant Historical Properties. Some rooms have skylights, others fireplaces, porches and mountain view balconies. Rooms are decorated with hand woven textiles and tiles, folk art and Southwestern furniture.
Innkeeper Ouida has a Ph.D. in Mythological Studies and periodically offers four or five day workshop sessions for El Paradero guests on the mythologies of the Southwest. Please contact the inn for information on the 2004 dates.
