Historic Taos Inn

Taos named one of the top 31 most beautiful towns in America and we couldn't agree more!

While the US has some of the best cities in the world (both large and small), the most beautiful towns in America showcase an entirely different, more idyllic side to the country. From coast to coast, you’ll find tiny hubs overflowing with charm and friendly locals, all with walkable downtown areas and mom-and-pop shops that put any Hallmark rom-com setting to shame. And these towns aren’t just great for the people who live there—they’re also standout travel destinations with plenty of things to do (and quaint hotels for days).

Whether you want New England weekend getaways, Southern islands lined with oak trees, or Western ski resorts next to national parks, there’s a small town just waiting for you to visit. And once you realize that the restaurant-to-people ratios lean way in your favor, you may never want to leave. While we wouldn’t dare tell you to skip New York City or Charleston, we encourage you to consider one of these smaller alternatives for your next domestic trip. The slower pace of life—and refreshing lack of crowds—may be the exact relaxing respite you’re looking for. https://cntraveler.visitlink.me/HKp3Po

Some places don't just stand the test of time, they become part of people's stories.

Long before selfies and smartphones, travelers, artists, musicians, and locals gathered here to share a meal, hear live music, and experience the magic of Taos. Decades later, not much has changed... and that's exactly the way we like it.

Every weathered adobe wall has witnessed thousands of stories, and every guest who walks through our doors becomes part of the next chapter.

💛 We'd love to hear your story.
What's your earliest memory of the Historic Taos Inn?

Hungry for a true taste of Taos?

Our signature Chile Rellenos have earned a loyal following for good reason, crispy on the outside, rich and cheesy on the inside, and packed with authentic New Mexican flavor in every bite.

At Doc Martin's, every meal is made to linger over. Sip a house-made margarita, enjoy fresh trout, and savor the bold flavors that have made us a Taos favorite for generations.

🍹 When dinner winds down, the evening is just getting started. Wander over to the Adobe Bar, where live music fills the room every night beneath the warm glow of our historic adobe walls.

Walk in, pull up a chair, and stay awhile. Or give us a call and we'll save you a seat. ✨
