  • Unique Qualities: Built in 1872 and restored a hundred years later, the Plaza is one of the classic hotels of the Old American West. Guests in its earlier heyday included the likes of Billy the Kid, Doc Holiday and Big Nose Kate. From the old bar, you can look out at the windmill on the plaza where a century ago, locals would hang some of the rowdiest troublemakers they could catch. Rooms have been restored to original 19th century simplicity, albeit with some modern conveniences within. A good restaurant can be found within the hotel and they even pack lunches to go with you on your next journey.

     Fine photos and informative texts, as always! When I was in college I used to work in New Mexico during the summers, but only really saw the northeast corner.
