Lundeen Inn of the Arts
A Mexican Territorial Inn
Our one hundred year old restored Mexican territorial inn is rated one of the top twenty Inns in the country. Combines Old World charm and western hospitality with one of the Southwest's largest Fine Art Galleries. 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.
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. |
Linda and Jerry Lundeen, founders have managed to blend their Boutique Inn, Art Gallery and devotion to Southwestern culture so thoroughly together that it's impossible to separate the three. Every wall of this historic Las Cruces adobe in lined with paintings, most of which are for sale. Each guest room is named after a famous New Mexican or Indian artist and decorated accordingly.
Linda is a native New Mexican and one of the State's leading art dealers. Jerry, raised on an Indian reservation in North Dakota, is a professional architect and designed many of the Inn's unique features. Jerry worked with Frank Lloyd Wright in Arizona. Linda takes a special pleasure in walking guests through the Gallery and introducing them to the artists who often visit the Inn. Jerry loves to visit with guests sharing his extensive knowledge of Southwestern architecture. Their special knowledge and deep love of the Southwest culture has inspired guests for over 12 years and kept many of them coming back. |
