3-star charming inn in Taos with Southwest cuisine
Location
Casa Benavides Inn is situated steps away from the vibrant energy and culture of Taos. Visitors can easily explore local shops, Native culture, and an array of Southwest cuisine accessible right outside the front door. With parking available, guests can enjoy the convenience of accessing all the attractions without the need for their vehicles.
Rooms
The hotel offers 36 distinctively styled rooms, each featuring artistic treasures that reflect the local culture. Certain accommodations provide kitchens, refrigerators, microwaves, and patios or balconies that overlook Taos, the mountains, or the gardens. Every room includes a private bath and cable TV.
Dining
Every morning, a full gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Breakfast includes a variety of freshly prepared entrees such as the family secret recipe granola and egg frittata with award-winning red chili sauce. This breakfast is included in the room rate for two guests.
Unique Ownership History
Originally established in 1989, Casa Benavides Inn has a unique connection to the local community through its owners, Tom and Barbara McCarthy. The inn is housed in the Lewis Art Gallery Building, a site with family ties and a rich history in Taos. This background adds a layer of authenticity to the guest experience.
