Once the private retreat of frontier Bishop Jean Baptiste Lamy (the subject of Willa Cather's
"Death Comes for the Archbishop" and Paul Horgan's biography, "Lamy of Santa Fe"), The Bishop's
Lodge was owned and operated as a resort by the family of James R. Thorpe from 1918 until 1998,
and is now managed by the Coastal Hotel Group. The Bishop's original garden and chapel, popular
for weddings and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, continues to overlook the
grounds. In 1996 The Bishop's Lodge was inducted into Historic Hotels of America.
If your children do not wish to join in on the historical experience, we have special days of
organised activities for them. In addition to our children's program, there are many excursions
in the area you may wish to consider for the whole family - trips to archaeological ruins and
historic sites, raft trips and chair lift rides. The Museum of International Folk Art, with its
vast display of folk art "toys" from all over the world, is a place that children especially enjoy.
Please check with the concierge, or the front desk for other great ideas.
