About this place El Rey Court

El Rey Court has been on Cerrillos Road since 1936, when it opened as a motor court catering to Route 66 travellers, and its transformation over the past decade into a design-conscious boutique hotel has made it one of Santa Fe's most distinctive accommodation options. The property preserves the original low-slung adobe buildings of the 1930s motor court while fitting them with contemporary design and comfortable rooms — an approach that gives El Rey Court an authenticity of place that the new-build luxury hotels near the Plaza cannot replicate. The compound includes 86 rooms, a pool, a coffee bar, and the casita-style layout of the original motor court: buildings spread across a landscaped property rather than stacked in a single tower. The LGBTQ+-friendly culture of El Rey Court reflects both the explicit welcome that the property extends to queer guests and the broader character of Santa Fe as a destination: in a city where the arts community and the LGBTQ+ community overlap so thoroughly, a hotel that positions itself as design-conscious and independent naturally attracts gay visitors. The Cerrillos Road location is near Revolution Bar and is a manageable drive or rideshare from downtown and Canyon Road.

This is such a wonderful little spot. I stayed here as an overnight stop on a long road trip. I'll be coming back for a more extended trip in the future. The grounds were amazing and the little food truck had some great food and was full of incredible people.

We loved this charming motel. We picked it specifically from the reviews left by others. We wanted an experience, not a bouzy over priced hotel. Don’t go into this motel mindset expecting your traditional sterile stay. This is a nearly 100 year old property. It has the New Mexico charm we were expecting. The room was clean. It had the amenities we expected. The mattress was comfortable and the room was quiet. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Bonus points for the lounge and stationary food truck! The food was delicious and on point for the vibe. Especially since we didn’t have to leave the property! The towels were huge and very clean. We didn’t use the pool or spa but it did look very inviting and private. The only downside would be the location as the town does start to get a bit older in that area. Needless to say we felt very safe and secure and there was security on site. It was only a few minutes to the old town plaza. If you want a more traditional experience at a great price point, give it a try!!

Loved it here! We booked last minute as an overnight as we were passing through Santa Fe. It’s an old converted traveler stop / court, and I loved seeing bits and pieces of that peek through. Beautiful space, great for people traveling with dogs. Clean and had everything we needed! Walked away with a lot of decor inspo too. We’ll be back.
