Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a small town that’s big on historic landmarks, buildings, parks and Western lore. Many of its most fascinating structures also happen to be hotels, including Bishop’s Lodge, which extends the city’s specific charms from the streets into the public areas and private suites and rooms. While most of the properties within historic buildings are upscale, Bishop’s Lodge is now a member of Auberge Resorts Collection thanks to a painstaking restoration, luxury appointments, commitment to personal service and wide range of exclusive activities.

Little did Bishop Jean Baptiste Lamy know his vision from 150 years ago would evolve into a true immersion into Southwestern culture. A stay here incorporates city and regional highlights built into nature-driven and history-focused adventures, visual arts, ancient healing arts, and culinary journeys — many suitable for people of all ages. The resort in its entirety unfolds like a village with a variety of rooms and suites designed for everything from romantic getaways to multigenerational family groups.

The free-standing Bunkhouse, the largest private accommodation in the Santa Fe area, sleeps 24 adults and up to 12 children across 12 bedrooms and 9,945 square feet. Designed by international design firm HKG, the lodging is crafted from reclaimed New Mexican barn wood with vaulted, 36-foot ceilings. Inside, there is an expansive great room with an oversized, two-story stone fireplace along with vintage-style rugs, artifacts, Western tack and evocative American West images by noted photographer Jim Arndt. During a stay here, different generations of travelers can partake in horseback riding at The Stables, fly fishing, al-fresco art classes, hiking, local art tours and other activities exclusive to the hotel.
