About El Rey Court

Built in 1936, the El Rey Inn Santa Fe is truly one of a kind. Located along the original Route 66 and embodying the culture, history, and art of the Southwest, the El Rey Inn features 86 unique rooms and suites that are as different as New Mexico itself.

No two rooms at the El Rey Inn are alike and each individually decorated room includes Southwestern decor, original artwork, and modern amenities such as a mini-fridge and coffeemaker.

Situated on five acres of lush gardens, yet only minutes away from Santa Fe's vibrant shopping, dining, and nightlife scene, our verdant grounds are an ideal escape from the noise of everyday life. Checkout time 11:00 AM

Everything was wonderful except the electric kettle in our room, which did not work. There was coffee available in the lobby though. El Rey is a Santa Fe classic and has gotten better over the years.

We enjoyed our stay but maintenance is needed on the grounds. A little paint and landscaping would go along way. Our beds were comfortable and the bathroom was a nice size. The website isn't current on all information so call prior. The food truck was decent but coffee maker broke and out of dressing for the Greek salad and it wasn't communicated until the order was ready. Overall if you want an original RTE 66 experience...this is it!

El Rey is a beautiful property that truly encourages you to take life slow and relax. The room was very spacious and well decorated, and the amenities were great. They have a food truck where you can grab a bite to eat in the mornings if you’re not wanting to go far, and a large lawn where you can sit and enjoy the serene environment.

We had room 14 which is a large King room with a seperate living room and a small single bed in an alcove (no door) off the living space. King bedroom was large with a small (emphasis on small) private courtyard with a bistro table and 2 chairs. Bathroom was large and nice. The bathroom did have an exhaust fan which is a big plus, as many hotel rooms omit this convenience these days. The property is very nice and gives the vibe of vintage travel from the 40's and 50's. The pool is very nice! There is definitely a community vibe here with guests enjoying the many outdoor courtyards for casual dining and coffee. There is a group of college age guys that prepare gourmet pizzas at the main courtyard on Sunday evenings. The pizzas are delicious. There is a bar and Permanent food truck for breakfast and lunch on the property. If you are looking for a throwback experience to the heyday of travel, the El Rey is the place!

I've stayed at El Rey many times, and I always enjoy it. The rooms are large and smartly decorated, there are many fun events that regularly occur on the property, and everything is well maintained. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, although the bartenders at La Reina seem to favor local patrons and can sometimes be aloof. The La Reina Mesita foodtruck is a bit hit-or-miss, but is nonetheless convenient. Overall, it's a fun place with great amenities and is centrally-located. Definitely recommend!

An old-school gem on on the Santa Fe loop of Route 66, but with all modern updates. Charming bar and lobby with local live music acts and a food truck offering New Mexico classics like green-chili cheeseburgers and pastor tacos. The perfect spot to spend a night or two when on a roadtrip. Short drive to the Santa Fe Plaza and Canyon Rd. art galleries. A few very good restaurants within walking distance. The Pantry (literally next door) was great for breakfast. Take advantage of the pool -- but beware: in the summer there are too many kids in the hot tub and sauna.

We had a room with a king size bed and a patio. It was a very nice big size. Room was great and very clean. Comfy bed. The only negatives were the property. We used the pool twice, and both times, on different days, the pool had definitely not been cleaned recently. There was stuff and hair floating in it, and it was the same situation the next day. Also, the grounds could be lovely, but they definitely need to spend more time and money on maintaining the landscaping. There's a lot of things that are dying or dead or need to be pruned. It could be so much more beautiful. Hower, these 2 things would not keep me from staying there again. It is a lovely historic place, but it could be even better.

The property was retro-cool looking. I liked the skylight in the bathroom (once I figured out why I couldn't turn off the light, lol!). Didn't use the spa or pool but they were nice to have. People seemed to enjoy the food truck, including non-guests/locals, so parking after I returned from dinner with friends was much more difficult. The property was a decent size and I walked around to check it all out...lots of nooks and crannies to sit in (which made my room which jutted out into the parking lot rather disappointing). I enjoyed my cocktail at La Reina, although $$$. There seemed to be a lot of younger influencer types around which was a bit noisy but things did eventually quiet down. Maintenance-wise, there were some issues with a squeaky bed and most of the fixtures in the bathroom were leaking (the tub/shower which I hadn't used and couldn't seem to get to completely stop) or loose (one sink handle didn't have a \"stop\", so if you pushed all the was back it would turn off but then on again so it was a balancing act). Also, some of the tiles along the bathroom baseboards were missing/damaged. My door was a little finicky (it wasn't locked when I thought it was), but it had a deadbolt.

Vibes for days. We loved our king room with patio, the patio was not private, but that’s OK — even despite the incredibly squeaky door. I mean, who doesn’t have a can of WD-40 handy? The grounds are really photogenic and nice to walk around. The food truck always had decent food. The cocktail lounge is excellent with great service, although the average $17 for a cocktail seemed a little steep for that setting. The pool is a good size and we did not experience much in the way of crowds.

A hailstorm just a day or two before we arrived may have contributed, but the hot tub looked like it was in serious need of cleaning so we passed on it. We arrived before published check in time and room was not yet ready. Front desk was very accommodating and offered a similar room that was ready so we could check in early. Just wish they had advised us it was a handicap room with a roll in shower and no tub. Shower was nice though and room was nice and clean. Only problem with bathroom was no counter or shelf space at all, not sure if this is typical or unique to our room type.. Hair dryer would have been a nice amenity as well. AC unit was a bit noisy, thankfully we didn't need it after sunset. Would recommend trying to get one of their single story units. Ours was on the ground floor of a two story section and we heard every heavy footstep and bits of conversation from the room above us. Overall it is an interesting break from a chain hotel, fairly modern but with a hint of nostalgia.

This is a vintage style hotel. It has some charm, the room was big and the desk staff was helpful and nice. That is the good stuff. The biggest issue was street noise and the lack of accessible food options . Nothing is within walking distance, and the neighborhood around the hotel is just not walkable. The beds were comfortable but the plumbing set up was awkward, probable due to its age, but awkward none the less. There is no breakfast on site and the hot pot for making instant coffee in our room didn’t work. I would not stay here again, and for the price I think you could do better.

The motel was definitely different, and a nice change from the typical motels. We really was looking forward in taking advantage of the courtyard that has seating under trees, bonfire, and quiet all behind the individual units - but the weather was too cool and rainy to do that. It was a perfect fit for our Route 66 adventure. The motel was a bit pricey, but for the nostalgic look - it fits perfect on Route 66.

This boutique motel was heavenly. The night previous we had stayed a very unclean motel that looked cool in pictures but was not cool in person! El Rey is the opposite, it is nicer in person and has a very relaxing atmosphere. All the rooms are decorated artistically and are very clean. My kid loved the spa and sauna. The beds were so comfortable that we stayed an extra night to sip on hot cocoa and enjoy a yummy dinner from La Reina while we watched a bit of TV. There were so many picturesque places to sit under trees and relax in the courtyard. I caught some good music and a tarot reading, so cool! I wished we could stay a week! Every member of staff was kind and helpful. We will miss the vibes of El Rey and hope to be back very soon. <3

When we arrived to the to El Ray, they told us about an event and we were surprised. The front desk said that it was Expedia fault for not communicating to us. We were hoping for a quiet night instead there was an ‘event’ that never ended. When we complained we were offered a room in a sister hotel, Glorietta. We came to the room parked and got our stuff. A man and a woman from the adjacent room were smoking outside and talking, I was hoping they would go inside after a while. When we settled down they were smoking outside again. I asked them to step away from the rooms because smoke was going into the room. They ignored me. We went to sleep only to be woken up at midnight by a security guard standing around with a next door visitor , smoking, talking. His car headlight flooding room with light. I again asked them to please step away from the rooms because of the smoke. The guard said ‘thank you for asking politely’ and complied but by that time our sleep was completely ruined. The whole situation felt unsafe.

El Rey Court in Santa Fe is an absolute gem and a \"must-stay\" for anyone looking for a unique, soul-filled experience in the Land of Enchantment. Originally built in 1936 along the historic Route 66, this iconic adobe roadside motor court has been brilliantly reimagined into a 5-acre boutique oasis where \"fast lives slow down\".
Conveniently located on Cerrillos Road, you’re just a short 10-minute drive from the Santa Fe Plaza and the immersive art of Meow Wolf. It’s also incredibly pet-friendly, making it a perfect stop for road trippers traveling with their dogs.
If you want a stay that feels less like a corporate hotel and more like a private, stylish getaway, the El Rey Court is exactly where you need to be.

This is a cute motel in Santa Fe. Overall it was fine. We stayed in the old adobe rooms. The room was on the ground floor and if you wanted daylight you had to leave your shade open, but then you had no privacy and my room faced a busy lot. So I resorted to being in a dark room for the parts of the day when I was there. It was really cold during our stay and I had a bit of an issue getting my room warm and on the last night, I finally figured out a workaround with the remote control. There was a separate room with a desk and coffee maker which was nice but there’s no heat in there.

The room was basic but clean. The highlight is the bar! I would go to the hotel just for the bar if I wasn't staying here. The location was good, you had to drive to most things but it would take less than 10 minutes. Parking was easy. One thing I didn't love is that you have to request house keeping which kind of makes you feel like a burden. The phone in our room didn't work so I couldn't contact the front desk that way, and when I called from my cell phone it took 4 calls to final get a person on the phone and I called around 9-10am. I forgot to do it on one of the days as we were out all day, so it was a bummer when we came back a realized that we forgot. Maybe they can have a sign you put on the door for housekeeping to check rather than having to call them or go to the front desk.
