Historic Taos Inn
Pawnee Bill definitely partied here (and may have slept here too!)

Douglas M. Smith and Carolyn Haddock have owned the inn since 1989 and oversaw renovations to the property as they worked to preserve the historic structures—Helen’s House, Tarleton House, Sandoval House and the courtyard—all while creating a lodging property. The guest rooms in the various houses feature roof vigas and varied floor plans. Some have adobe fireplaces.
Over the years, restoration of the property, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has turned the Tarleton House into the Adobe Bar. The original Martin House is now the location of Doc Martin’s Bar.
Continuing in the Martin tradition of service and commitment to the arts, the Taos Inn showcases local artists’ works, which are handpicked by the owners. The inn’s 14 curio shops include window displays that exhibit this work by artisans such as Thom Wheeler, Ed Sandoval, Bella Sue Martin and Inger Jirby.
Taos Inn is “also a commonplace hangout for local artists and our bar is known as the living room of Taos,”?says inn spokesperson Jamie Tedesco. “Many artists enjoy congregating around our warm fire pit and listening to the free live eclectic mix of entertainment that plays every evening.”
