Inn of The Turquoise Bear B&B

My partner and I stayed at the Inn 6 nights in the Willa Cather room. We were supposed to share a bathroom but, the other room wasn't being occupied so it was like we had our own. The room was smaller but cozy and comfortable for two. The wood for the fireplace in our room made an awesome fire. The room was clean and private. The robes were nice to put on in the evening and in the morning after a shower. It would have been nice if the towels were a little softer to the touch.I would also recommend an updated TV/DVD. The wine and cheese happy hour were an added bonus each evening. What a great way to mingle with the other guests and hosts. Hot breakfast was a great way to start out each morning. bring on the Chorizo!The only thing I would recommend is to rotate the hot entries once a month or so. The location was perfect. Within walking distance to downtown! I have to comment on our Innkeeper- subs Roy and Barney! You guys did an amazing job! We look forward to meeting Robert/ Ralph next time when your travels don't take you to Peru. Thanks for the restaurant recommendations Michael! Would love to visit in the Spring!

You’ll be convinced that New Mexico is the “Land of Enchantment”, when you visit Santa Fe and stay at the historic Inn of the Turquoise Bear. Innkeepers Robert Frost and Ralph Bolton will greet you with such warmth and hospitality you’ll feel you’re distant family members. Their generous hospitality is further enhanced each evening with a complimentary wine and cheese hour for Inn guests. Every room has its unique history related to the fascinating evolution of the Inn and its famous owners and guests. We return year after year anxious to absorb the allure of Santa Fe, but it wouldn’t be the same without the authentic environment of The Inn of the Turquoise Bear.

We stayed at The Inn of The Turquoise Bear for 4 nights in September, it was great, Robert and Ralph were so friendly and welcoming, they did everything they could to make you feel at home. All the other guests were very friendly too. The Hotel is an amazing place to stay. Beautiful rooms and surroundings.

In over 25 years of visiting Santa Fe and staying at many different hotels and B&Bs, the Turquoise Bear provided the best experience. The hosts, historic structure, accommodations, gardens, breakfast and wine/cheese hours and other guests, and the location (plenty of free parking at the inn, which is an easy 20 minute walk to the square) combined to make our four night stay superb. The three resident dogs with fine manners (willing to accept petting or to be left alone, as the guest prefers) enhanced the experience.

I would like to give a superlative review for the Inn of the Turquoise Bear in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We stayed 2 nights in July and were enchanted by the charm and class of the landmark inn. The room was very comfortable, the bed excellant, the breakfast was generous and well presented. The Inn is centrally locatd in Santa Fe and we walked everywhere. The people who stayed there were open and friendly and the whole experience was enjoyable. A real find! Thank you, Martin Kravitz

Situated on one of the prettiest private properties in Santa Fe, NM, The Inn of the Turquoise Bear is a delight. Hosted by co-owner, Robert Frost who will cook breakfast-to-order each morning, this inn is near everything in Santa Fe. We've gone back year after year and enjoy it more each time. The inn is the former home of a local poet who entertained the luminaries of his era like Georgia O'Keefe and Igor Stravinsky. The rooms at the Turquoise Bear are named for each of the famous people who stayed there and the Inn and its gardens are maintained beautifully. This past July, we were there for a week's stay just as Santa Fe was in the midst of an unusual heat wave. Normally, you didn't need air conditioning at the Turquoise Bear because the cooling breezes keep the temperature at a very comfortable level. This year was different. When I told Robert that the room stayed uncomfortably warm during the night, he had a new air conditioner installed within hours. Now that's service! We recommend the Inn of the Turquoise Bear very highly. P.S. Wine and cheese are served every afternoon at 5. Jay J.

This is our second time back to the inn and the owners continue to raise the bar. If you want to stay in a place that welcomes everyone, isn't stuffy, where you can meet other guests, this is the place. The recently added hot cooked to order breakfast is first rate. We'll be back.

Friendly, engaging...Santa Fe essential! Step back into a place where conversation abounds and friendships are made. Ralph and Robert make their home yours.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Turquoise Bear during a recent visit, and we loved it. All of the staff are very friendly and gregarious, it's pet-friendly (with many resident cats and dogs from the innkeepers) and it's a convenienet location about a 10-minute walk to the Plaza. A really neat place with lots of little inter-connecting rooms- sort of a modern day pueblo. Be sure to meet Mr. Colt if you visit!

Staying at your inn was a vacation and history lesson we will always remember!
