Our one hundred year old restored Mexican territorial
inn is rated one of the top twenty Inns in the country. Its two double-story
guest houses are joined by a vast Great Room that must be seen to be fully
appreciated. Dark wood floors, an eighteen-foot pressed tin ceiling, an 1855
German piano, and Jacobean-style furniture lend a pleasing Old World ambience
to the living room, while the tall arched windows and large paintings (most
notably those by Ken Barrick, Kathy Morrow and Dorothy Tuma) grace the room.

With 20 widely different guest rooms, the Inn offers
excellent accommodations for groups as well as individual guests. Each room is
named after a famous New Mexican or Native American artist and is decorated
accordingly. Among the most memorable are the Maria Martinez room,
with its vigas and latilla Anasazi headboard, and the Georgia O'Keeffe
room in black, white, and gray, with calla lilies on the mantel. The R. C. Gorman
room boasts its own private entrance and features a kiva fireplace and partial viga ceiling.
The Lundeen Inn serves a diverse clientele that ranges from the visual
and performing artists and government scientists to corporate travelers and vacationing families,
couples and individuals. Many are international visitors. This intellectual and cultural diversity
creates a wonderful atmosphere for sharing. Any morning, breakfast promises stimulating
conversations and exciting new acquaintances. The Inn is a place where all may come and feel at home.
