Bishop's Lodge: Luxury Found in the American Southwest

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection. This is an iconic Santa Fe retreat that masterfully blends luxury with the region’s deep cultural heritage. Nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this property offers an unforgettable mix of expansive accommodations, exceptional service and immersive local experiences.

One of the standout aspects of Bishop’s Lodge is its thoughtfully designed suites and casitas, which seamlessly integrate the beauty of the surrounding landscape. I stayed in one of their King sunset view suites. It was absolute heaven. The rooms feature high beamed ceilings, custom artisan décor, a cozy kiva fireplace, and private terraces that open up to breathtaking mountain/property views. The spacious layout felt residential. It offered a true sense of privacy and relaxation. Details like handwoven textiles, curated local art and an oversized shower (like no shower I’ve experienced) elevated the experience.

From the moment I arrived, the service at Bishop’s Lodge was warm, intuitive and deeply personal. The staff strikes the right balance between attentiveness and giving guests the space to unwind. Whether it was the concierge arranging private horseback rides, the waitstaff remembering my morning coffee preference or the spa team customizing treatments to my needs, every interaction felt thoughtful and tailored.

What made this experience even more special for my spouse and I was the unexpected overnight snowfall. We woke up to the most beautiful winter wonderland and enjoyed the outdoor jacuzzi in a magical setting.

Bishop’s Lodge is a standout choice for luxury travelers, honeymooners, wellness seekers and those wanting to experience the rich culture of Santa Fe in an elevated setting. With its expansive suites, highly personalized service and immersive experiences, it’s not just a place to stay — it’s a destination.

For clients seeking an intimate yet luxurious Southwestern retreat with impeccable service and unforgettable scenery, Bishop’s Lodge should be at the top of their list.

Santa Fe is a southwest desert town that offers plenty of activities, from spas to hikes to art galleries and can be the perfect destination for a long weekend.
