Adorably Charming!
I absolutely loved my stay at The Parador! The moment I parked my car, I never needed it again—everything was within easy walking distance. From the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum to The Lensic and the stunning St. Francis Cathedral, exploring Santa Fe was effortless and enchanting.
The Parador itself was warm, welcoming, and full of character. The breakfast? Simply outstanding! Every morning felt like a treat, with fresh, flavorful dishes that showcased the chef’s talent—chef’s kiss! The staff was wonderful, and the ambiance perfectly matched historic charm and modern comfort. I can’t wait to return!

This is our 2nd or 3rd time staying at the Parador. It’s an eclectic and unique little place that is so chill all you want to do is take a nap. Love this place.

Very quaint property, quite and clean. Not many amenities, if that's what your looking for. Very much a Santa Fe feel.

With a long history of supporting artists, this hotel combines a complete update with traditional southwestern style. The staff were open and accommodating. We loved our room with separate bedroom and fireplace. Walked to the Plaza in minutes.

A wonderful surprise! Booked because we needed a hotel close to the train station, but was so impressed with this gem — especially the incredible breakfast and decor! Everything is well thought out.

Unusually large, very attractive room, unit 7. Door to hall has no buffer for sounds in the hall,and this unit has windows on the parking lot, BUT it is still quiet in general. The type of guest for this lodging is quiet and active people. The bed was very comfortable.

... we loved having our own "apartment" in Santa Fe, in this suite in a separate historic building down the block, with its own patio and parking. And, since we'd stayed there before, we loved the colorful design updates throughout the property, main building and our apartment. We were sorry never to meet the staff, but had prompt service by phone and text messages when we arrived late. We missed a TV in the room - there was a TV connection - just to keep up to date on the news each day. Otherwise our stay was absolutely perfect!

Do Not Stay At This Place!
The room wasvery uncomfortable. No place to put toiletries. Small. The door locking system was difficult especially in the dark. No lights outside the rooms that were outside the building. This was all capped off by the lack of breakfast as promised on their website, in the printed information they hand out and as noted by the receptionist upon check in. No notice. We all arrived to an empty dining room and no one in the office. This was terribly frustrating since the day was New Years day and no restaurants were open we did get a text later in the day apologizing. Seems the chef was sick. It was the morning after New Year ‘s Eve so….This was no way to run a business!
