Located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, La Fonda on the Plaza has been a Southwest getaway location for more than a century. In recent decades, it has also been a haven for original art and design as the hotel’s owners have filled the rooms, hallways and lobbies with original Western and Native American art.
The new presidential suite at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The suite features a new painting by Marla Allison, modernist painter from Laguna Pueblo.
The hotel recently unveiled a new presidential suite with prime views out over the Santa Fe Plaza. The new suite, like all the rooms at the property, is filled with original art that speaks to the culture, diversity and traditions of Northern New Mexico. The featured artist in the room is Marla Allison, the modernist painter from Laguna Pueblo who has had a long friendship with the property. A new Allison painting fills a wall inside the suite, and one of her works has also been turned into bathrobes at the historic property.
The new suite has views into the Santa Fe Plaza.
“Lots of paintings in La Fonda Hotel carry my journey. Similar to the incredible rooms and levels of the historic hotel of La Fonda, each painting is an experience,” Allison says. “… As time has gone by, I feel I have left a lot of historic markers of myself in my paintings. I am thankful to have a place which houses so many together so when I return to La Fonda, it feels like I returned home, in a way.”
In addition to new paintings at La Fonda, the hotel is also unveiling its new robe, which features artwork from Marla Allison.
