Rancho de San Juan - Espanola, New Mexico - Boutique Luxury Hotel

Rancho de San Juan hotel exterior

ROOMS & SUITES: 12


Rancho de San Juan is located at the converse of the Ojo Cliente River and the Chama River Valleys as they flow into the magnificent Rio Grande River at the San Juan Pueblo. Rich in the history of the Hispanic culture, the valley was first enjoyed by the pueblo Indian tribes as a place for hunting and fishing while in route to the natural healing mineral springs of Ojo Caliente.


The first Spanish village in the valley was named Ranchos de San Juan and was located directly across the river from where the inn now is located.

The Inn provides the perfect location between Taos and Santa Fe near the Ojo Caliente mineral springs...Expansive views of the Jemez Mountains, the Ojo Caliente River Valley and the magnificent rock formations and foothills of Georgia O'Keefe country await the guest at Rancho de San Juan. Sunsets splashed with pink, coral and gold, the blue New Mexico sky which has inspired artists for generations, the Pinon, Juniper and Chamisa which evoke the spirit of the Southwest, and mingling of cultures are just a few of the charms at a special place called Rancho de San Juan.

Rancho de San Juan is 7 miles northwest of the San Juan Pueblo (proclaimed the first capital of New Mexico in 1598) and only 35 miles from the historic plaza at Santa Fe. The Inn provides the perfect location between Taos and Santa Fe near the Ojo Caliente mineral springs for guests to enjoy the diverse seasonal activities and the extensive cultural events of Northern New Mexico.
