A high-desert hotel in Taos, Hotel Willa reimagines a 1960s motor lodge with contemporary minimalism and genuine local spirit. It’s part of Casetta’s design portfolio, so of course the look is fresh: terracotta walls, hand-woven textiles, original vigas, and sculptural adobe doorways. Some of the 51 rooms look out Sangre de Cristo Mountains, while shared spaces include a gallery-meets-lobby, a desert-landscaped pool deck, and The Store featuring local curation. Dining at Juliette pairs wild-foraged herbs and heirloom ingredients. This is one for the creatives, who like an overnight stay with a bit of flair.
