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.
Guest Experience
The hotel is a non-smoking property focused on providing a welcoming environment for human guests, including children. Room check-in is available during specified hours, ensuring a smooth arrival process. Flexible arrangements can be made for guests requiring special check-in times.
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.

“The Inn impressed me with its devotion to local culture, from the individually decorated rooms to the artful touches throughout. Complimentary snacks and a gourmet breakfast enhance the welcoming atmosphere, setting the stage for exploring nearby Taos Plaza. I particularly appreciate the blend of personalized service and authentic Southwestern charm that defines the experience.”
