  • Inn Details

    Alexander’s Inn has recently evolved from a Bed & Breakfast of 9 rooms to a unique and much smaller operation. We cater to the guest who seeks more than a vacation rental yet prefers the autonomy and privacy not found at other inns. Our traditional Santa Fe casitas, featuring kiva fireplaces, New Mexican furnishings and décor, full kitchens and patios, are perfectly suited for family vacations or romantic holidays. For guests preferring a true Santa Fe Bed & Breakfast experience, please visit our sister inns, The Hacienda Nicholas and The Madeleine Inn. The Cottage and Casita offer full breakfast options at The Hacienda Nicholas, while The Pinon and Juniper Casas are vacation rental style accommodations. As members of The Green Hotels Association, we are committed to incorporating sustainable earth policies and practices in the running of our inns, vacation rentals and the spa. Guests rave about our heavenly beds, made up with fine linens, down comforters and feather pillows. For your utmost comfort and convenience, we provide daily maid service, luxuriously soft robes, phones, wireless internet, cable TV, DVD & CD players and air conditioning. Also available is a guest membership at the full-service El Gancho Health Club. Enjoy our spa, located just a few blocks away. Absolute Nirvana Spa, selected by Conde Nast Traveler as "One of the Hottest New Spas in the World", features therapeutic, deep-tissue, hot stone and Thai massage, as well as a selection of facials and spa treatments.

    we loved staying at the Madeleine house in Santa Fe. We were able to walk all of Santa Fe from the inn location. Staff couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating to our needs. Our room was romantic and charming. We loved the fact that the inn is so enviornmentally conscious.

    If you want to experience the heart and soul of Santa Fe this is the place to stay. We lodged in the Casita, a romantic feel, with a fireplace and spiral staircase. All details revealed an aesthetic appeal and lend beauty to your surroundings. Also delightful are the congenial people who work there including the owner, Carolyn. Each one adds character and care to the ambience. Assistance was provided in a multitude of kind and serviceable ways especially evident when the unforeseen Christmas snowstorm fell. I highly recommend giving them an immediate call to see if you are lucky enough to find a room.
