About this property

Taos Inn is an historic inn located in Taos, New Mexico. It is made up of several adobe houses dating from the 19th century, one of which was a home of Thomas "Doc" Martin which hosted the formative meeting of the Taos Society of Artists in 1915. After Doc's death, his widow Helen Martin converted the houses into a hotel, which opened on June 7, 1936 as Hotel Martin. The name was changed to "Taos Inn" by subsequent owners. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1981 and to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The Taos Inn was acquired by Imprint Hospitality group in January 2019.
