Bishop's Lodge Auberge Resorts Collection

It usually takes me a couple of days on a vacation to get in a relaxed mode. I arrived at Bishops Lodge a ball of stress and was astonished to find just a few hours later feeling so relaxed and at peace. The resort rooms are scattered over the vast hillside property in which cars do not enter. The staff will assist you with a golf cart ride whenever needed. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. A talented designers take on a chic and livable Southwest theme. We stayed in the Pines group of rooms. The view is spectacular. The restaurant is so gorgeous with delicious food. If you didn’t want to leave the resort, you never have to worry about not eating beautifully. There is a gorgeous, well appointed terrace with an outdoor fireplace that is so lovely. The staff to a person was always kind. The service is sometimes slow, so pack a bit of patience, but they are so kind and caring it doesn’t matter. The views are stunning. It’s easy to understand why the spot has been chosen for almost 200 years as a peaceful place to contemplate the world. The pool is perfect- great size, and has a hot tub. The gym has fabulous equipment. We rode horses and also did a “creative living” painting session, which was so fun. The concierge was so helpful when we needed her. Great suggestions, and skilled at honing in on exactly what we wanted to do. The restaurant attracts visitors from outside the Bishops Lodge which made fun people watching and gave us opportunities to meet more people which was great. The resort is dog friendly, and it was so nice to meet so many wonderful pups. I can’t wait to go back.

We are a family of five (children ages 13, 16, 16) and we live in Albuquerque. We visited Bishop's Lodge with my mother to celebrate her 75th birthday. We had a very enjoyable dinner in a private dining room. The dinner service was excellent. We enjoyed the private room for 3 hours and ate a delicious meal. We enjoyed a daytrip to Ghost Ranch with a private tour. Bishop Lodeg provided a luxurious and relaxing basecamp for our trip. We enjoyed the very well-equiped and clena gym and the relaxing pool and spa area.

Bishop's Lodge is a unique 300+ acre setting in the Sangre le Crista mountains. The property gives off an aura of a New Mexican village with the hillside speckled by adobe structures, book ended by large lodges, an old chapel and a barn-like bunkhouse. I relished my swanky, expansive, king-resort-view room with kiva fireplace, airy bath and gated outdoor patio. The decor embraced a Santa Fe look with leather, hand carved furniture, animal skins, old paintings, woven items, Pendleton blankets, silver ornamentation, all providing a taste of 'cowboy flavor'. The hotel is home to 2 dining options: the Two Dogs Cafe, generally a grab'n'go breakfast facility and the hotel's signature restaurant, the Sky Fire that serves up Southwestern dishes. I did like the Yellow Corn Pancakes for breakfast, Green Risotto for dinner and their infamous 'Holy Margarita'. The Stream Day Spa is a fine wellness sanctuary & healing arts studio embedded with spiritual healing & locally traditional treatments. I opted for the 'Stress Relief Massage' utilizing aromatherapy & Swedish techniques to relieve my tight muscles. A year round heated pool, gym, art gallery, craft workshops, sacred meditation, fly fishing, horseback riding are great extended stay activities. So, if you are seeking total immersion in nature .................then try the............................ ..............Bishop's Lodge..........transformative spa experiences rooted in nature.

I don’t normally write reviews during my travels, but this needs to be said. I was traveling on a girls trip to Bishop’s Lodge, which is absolutely beautiful and located 10 minutes north of Santa Fe, in Tesuque. It’s truly a magical place. But as I traveled through the historic village of Tesuque, I noticed signs EVERYWHERE saying Bishop’s Lodge is polluting water. Out of curiosity, I learned Bishop’s Lodge is dumping their wastewater into a small creek which is effecting this small neighboring community and others downstream, including pueblos. I even went on a hike along the Tesuque Creek during my stay, and I was absolutely appalled at what they are doing! I WILL NOT SUPPORT BISHOP’S LODGE OR AUBERGE UNTIL THIS STOPS. I’ll be staying elsewhere from now on. I hope other’s do the same.

Great unique experience. Nicest hotel we have ever stayed at, the staff makes the place feel so inviting.

Bishops Lodge and their parent company, Juniper, are seeking to dump effluent from their sewage treatment into the sparkling Tesuque Creek that crosses their property. This will affect the entire community along the Tesuque, and the waterways it feeds into. This is a cost-driven decision, not made in consultation with community and the Tesuque community fiercely opposes the plan. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY AT ANY OF ITS RESORTS

You can just take a deep breath and know that you will be taken care of as soon as you arrive and the golf cart takes you to your secluded room nestled in the hills. It’s quiet, it’s relaxing, it’s top notch amenities. You won’t be disappointed. It’s much closer to town than the other resort you might be considering. Major plus.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! I was visiting Santa Fe and learned from a front page article in the local newspaper that they are about to start dumping 60,000 gallons A DAY of toxic waste from the hotel in a small river in the local community called the Tesuque River. This toxic waste is going to pollute the entire water in the community. The community whole community is on well water. They were not warned that this was happening. The water they are polluting is going to be going all the way from the lodge to the Rio Grande River through the Tesuque and other pueblos. This hotel is going to create yet another environmental disaster for thousands of innocent people. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!

Stunning property! In typical Auberge style all the details in the resorts look, feel and style were thought of. Great pool, gym, bar-patio, yoga, hiking and horse riding! Did have a few issues with the restaurant and service consistency overall. Spoke with the Manager and she was on top of it to make it the experience you come to expect from Auberge properties!! One quick side note for guests-the property does charge a 20% service fee on ALL hospitality. Grabbing a cup of coffee or muffin or a glass of wine might not command a 20% service fee….
