Description

Historic Taos Inn opened in 1936. The Inn, originally named Hotel Martin, is comprised of a series of 18th century adobe houses. Helen Martin, widow of Thomas "Doc" Martin, opened the hotel. Subsequent owners renamed the hotel Taos Inn. The inn's restaurant honors "Doc" Martin who was instrumental in the 1915 formation of the Taos Society of Artists. The iconic thunderbird neon sign is a classic symbol of the town.
