HOTEL LUNA MYSTICA A self-proclaimed “vintage trailer hotel,” Hotel Luna Mystica is comprised
of 16 vintage trailers parked on the Taos mesa and tucked in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, offering an
overnight experience that is as unique as the city in which it is located. But this is no ordinary camping
experience—each trailer is fully equipped with modern amenities as well as a mountain-view patio, a
deck, and a fire pit, encouraging guests to spend their evenings under starry skies.

MICHAEL’S KITCHEN A Taos staple, Michael’s Kitchen is a brunch destination beloved by visitors
and locals alike. Serving up breakfast classics with a distinctly New Mexican twist (aka: everything
covered in green chile), Michael’s has a laid-back ambience that ensures its patrons feel right at home.

THE LOVE APPLE Tucked away in an old Catholic chapel built in the 1800s, The Love Apple features
locally sourced and organic foods on a menu that changes seasonally. Guests are invited to peruse
the restaurant’s pantry while waiting for their meals, an invitation that underscores the restaurant’s
transparent commitment to using the freshest local ingredients.

OJO CALIENTE


For travelers looking to unwind and
recalibrate, Ojo Caliente Mineral
Springs Resort & Spa is a serene
retreat where guests can soak in
one of 12 pools filled with water
originating from a subterranean
volcanic aquifer. End a day of hiking
or biking with a massage or skin care
session. Or catch a yoga class for
a good long stretch. Every amenity
at this peaceful resort is meant to
be restorative.

TA OS P U E B L O


Known as the oldest continuously
inhabited community in the United
States, the Taos Pueblo—made
entirely of adobe—is a striking
mainstay of Native American culture
in the Southwest. Visitors can explore
the ancient structures, purchase
handmade pottery and jewelry, and
experience distinctive events like
the pueblo’s annual powwow or San
Geronimo Day.
