"Bishop's Lodge is nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains, just a half mile north of Santa Fe's city limits and next to the Santa
Fe National Forest. It is the best of both worlds: city close and country quiet,
interrupted by the howl of coyote on a nearby ridge or an owl hooting from a cottonwood
tree."
-Lifestyle Magazine, Dec. '95
The Bishop's Lodge is 3 miles north of Santa Fe's plaza on Bishop's Lodge Road.
Once the private retreat of frontier Bishop Jean Baptiste Lamy (the subject of Willa
Cather's "Death Comes for the Archbishop"), The Bishop's Lodge has been owned
and operated as a resort by the family of James R. Thorpe since 1918. The Bishop's
original gardens and chapel, popular for weddings and listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, continue to overlook the grounds.
Personalized guest accommodations range from cozy standard doubles to large deluxe rooms
and suites with kiva fireplaces and private patios. Plush bathrobes, daily
newspapers, in-room safes, and nightly bed turn-down are among the many services provided.
Dining is a delight at The Bishop's Lodge Restaurant, offering the best of New American
Cuisine with distinctive Santa Fe flair. Seasonal cookouts, patio and pool service, and
all-day Room Service complement the relaxed ambiance and distinctive fare. An evening margarita
is especially memorable in El Rincon, patio bar, with its spectacular sunsets and
star-filled skies.
