We invite you to explore the Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa – one of Santa Fe’s historic hotels having an influential role in Santa Fe’s long and rich history.

When Jean-Baptiste Lamy came to Santa Fe in 1851 as the first bishop of the Southwest diocese, he bought a parcel of land for his country retreat. That site is now the Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa, and the chapel he built 158 years ago still stands. Amid the colorful canyons of the desert Southwest, the lush Tesuque Valley is an oasis of green.

Colorful reminders of centuries of Spanish, Native American and Southwestern cultures endure at Bishop's Lodge in the spa, in the cuisine, and in the tradition of hospitality.

Accommodations range from deluxe rooms to exclusive villas. Santa Fe charm and contemporary features grace the 15 lodges and the 111 rooms. Resort activities include horseback riding, tennis, skeet shooting, and lawn games.  Amenities include the award-winning spa, heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and a children’s program.
