Our favourite rooms
Calming colour palettes and tactile textures are the order of the day in each of Bishop’s Lodge’s Southwest-style heritage guest rooms. Interiors feature traditional kiva fireplaces, woven Navajo rugs, wooden beams and bold geometric patterned prints, with private terraces opening out onto the foothills of the burnt sienna-hued Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Extra points go to the secluded adults-only Kiva Suites thanks to their outdoor fireplaces and private plunge pools. In winter, with the rising steam and snow-capped valley views, you’ll feel you’ve stumbled into a stratospheric Southwestern Narnia. If little Smiths are in residence, one of the resort’s multi-room Casitas may come in handy. The spacious layout will give you some space to spread out after a busy day hiking forest trails.
Poolside
There’s an outdoor heated swimming pool popular with youngsters, as well as adults sipping post-mountain-adventure tequila-based snort. For grown ups, there are also outdoor soaking pools at the spa. Some rooms feature a plunge pool on the terrace.
Spa
Frayed chakras and saddle-sore muscles won’t stand a chance at Turquesa Healing Arts Studio. Treatments feature organic, locally sourced bloom-to-bottle ingredients and range from more orthodox massages to a lil’ bit ‘out there’ gem therapy and crystal-bowl sound bathing. Sip on Navajo tea or a cacao and chile wellness elixir, take in an al fresco guided meditation or tea ceremony, indulge in a spot of candle-lit yoga, or book a therapeutic art class.
Packing tips
A cowboy hat to help you look the part on sunrise horse rides and your favourite monocle for gallery-hopping in one of the world’s great art cities.

Take your alpine wayfaring up a notch with a chef-prepared gourmet picnic. Feast on seasonal snacks like rustic sandwiches, fruits and crisp salads in the red rock canyons of the Santa Fe national forest.
