Southwest style gets a 21st-century spin at Auberge’s 65-casita Encantado resort. There’s not a dream catcher or howling coyote in sight—instead, interiors soothe with earthy palettes and abstract works by local painters. The contemporary theme runs throughout the 57-acre resort, especially in the public spaces that feature revolving exhibitions curated by an area gallery. In a town with a masseuse on almost every corner, Encantado’s spa stands out, thanks to the cloistered outdoor soaking tub, eucalyptus steam rooms, and Native American treatments such as a juniper-sage massage.
Room to Book:
The Summit Suites, rooms 64 and 65, offer unobstructed valley views (many other rooms look over the parking lot) and the most privacy.
Insider Tip:
Be sure to listen to the surprisingly savvy in-room indie-pop CD, which includes tunes from Vinicius Cantuária and Alamo Race Track.
