Hotel Chaco, for chameleon-colored comforts

If you want to blend into your desert surroundings in understated luxury, a stay at the Gensler-designed Hotel Chaco is imperative. Pale stone masonry and wooden accents reflect the architectural elements found at Chaco Canyon and in the pueblos around the state, while artwork from Native American New Mexican creatives – from colorful paintings and grand sculptures to an antler chandelier – is highlighted throughout public spaces. Starting at 410sqft (38sqm) and featuring balconies, the guest rooms also mirror the vastness of the desert (without the aridity, thanks to oversize walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads).
