“My New Favorite Santa Fe Lodging!”

The Madeleine

Jul 25, 2008

I have been coming to Santa Fe for years for both business and pleasure, so have stayed in the big pricey hotels and many of the small inns that abound in this town. How wonderful to have stumbled across this hidden gem of an inn, tucked away on a dead end street near the Plaza, so you hear none of the traffic or hustle bustle of the town. The décor is a stunning blend of Victorian and Asian, with rich oriental rugs and period antiques. I would start my day with coffee in the lovely gardens, listening to the bird calls from the huge trees that surround the property. Then a fabulous breakfast (the blue corn waffles are heavenly!) before hitting the shops, galleries and museums. They also have a fun wine & cheese hour each night, which I tried to get back for. I met some really interesting people at both breakfast and the cocktail hour, which made the trip that much more enjoyable. I had to move rooms during my stay, as this was high season and I booked late, but I was very happy in both. The Morning Glory, aptly named for the streaming morning sunlight, is a huge room with a sumptuous bed and armoire. The bed was so comfortable it was hard to get up in the morning, but the weather was so perfect that I felt the need to get out and see the sights. My favorite was the suite in the back gardens, which was even more quiet and private, and had an inviting window seat. Wish I'd had more time to just hang out and read. All in all, a fabulous stay and definitely a place to come back to again and again.

“A great B&B”

The Madeleine

5 of 5 stars
Corpus Christi, Texas
Jul 24, 2008

We stayed four nights in the Columbine Room at the Madeleine and had an absolutely wonderful time. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. The house, dating from the 1800's is full of charm and well-kept by the super staff. We especially enjoyed the home-baked goodies along with coffee and tea that were outside our room all the time.

Breakfasts were outstanding with a wonderful hot dish each morning, an abundance of fresh fruit and the wonderfully fresh-baked pastries. The afternoon social was a must attend with wine and appetizers served by a friendly and helpful staff.

We compliment the management and staff for their emphasis on running a green inn and tried to do our bit by recycling as well. They were most hospitable always asking what we needed and offering advice and suggestions about things to do and see while we were in the area.

The inn is well-located on a quiet cul-de-sac and an easy walk from the plaza. We also spent a great deal of time outside on the comfortable covered front porch.

We've been visiting in Santa Fe for over 20 years but have always stayed in hotels. We're glad to have discovered this gem of an inn and plan to visit again as well as recommend it to our friends. Thanks again for a super weekend!

“Love at First Sight”

The Madeleine

5 of 5 stars
New York
Jul 23, 2008

After a wonderful night at The Madeleine's exceptional sister B&B, Hacienda Nicholas, my sister and I moved across the street to The Madeleine. This is lifted directly from my journal: "We drove across the street to our new B&B and fell immediately in love with everything about it. Our room is on the top floor -- the only room up there and it is full of character." I go on to describe our wondrous, delightful suite in detail, as well as to say, "the rest of the Inn has been described as "Victorian meets Asian". It's quite dramatic, with interesting touches, such as a collection of Indonesian puppets, and a charming sitting room downstairs where there is always a selection of teas, coffee, and cookies or other homemade sweets are available.

We came to Hacienda Nicholas and The Madeleine after a very poor experience at a nearby B&B that we left after one night. We were graciously accepted with no notice whatsoever and could not have asked for more from these two inns.

P.S. I write about food and the breakfasts here were outstanding!

“The Madeleine is a Gem!”

The Madeleine

Jul 23, 2008

This b&b and the courteous, attentive staff are a real find in expensive and not always customer-service oriented Santa Fe. I've stayed at a number of other hotels in the downtown/historic area and they've been more expensive (a lot), less attentive, and less comfortable. The Queen Anne Victorian building is a joy to stay in, it shows that Santa Fe hasn't always looked like a pueblo, despite citywide efforts to make it seem so. The gardens are peaceful and quiet, with butterflies and hummingbirds flitting around. Rooms are individually furnished with a beautiful mix of antiques, interesting art and artifacts and fabulously comfortable beds. The owner is serious about being "green" without affecting guests' comfort, and their homemade, organic breakfasts and snacks are out of this world. Never mind eating breakfast out, we savored every one we could get here. And they have a spa on the premises, Nirvana. WOW! I've never had a better treatment in my life. I don't know what kind of traveler would leave this b&b a negative rating. We'll be back for sure.

“Perfect Retreat to Eat”

The Madeleine

Jul 23, 2008

The Madeline Inn is a beautiful B & B right in the heart of Santa Fe - and Kevin one of their chefs baked the most delectable cookies for us! Warm apricot-white chocolate chewies - and chocolate chip cookies -- -they are such a wonderful group of people. Anna, also made wonderful gourmet breakfasts for her guests! Do go!!
