Hotel St. Francis

The Hotel St. Francis, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1923. Until the early 1980s, it was known as the De Vargas Hotel. In 1986, the property was renovated and restored to its original splendor. Each room is furnished with antique furniture and fixtures, and some have views of the picturesque Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The original shutter-style windows remain, adding some extra charm. The concierge service at this hotel has been hailed as one of the finest in the world.
