As the name would suggest, its the former home of Mabel Dodge Luhan who was not only a writer, but a facilitator and gatherer of art in Taos. This is where pretty much anyone literary or artistic whos traveled to New Mexico has stayed. DH Lawrence spent loads of time here, and even painted the windows of one of the bathrooms with bright murals (today, some rooms still have access to that bathroom). Georgia OKeefe, Ansel Adams, Dennis Hopper, Carl Jung the list of illustrious guests is long

Taos: Checking Out A Room With Four Views In Snowy Taos

Spotted in New Mexico today: one of the raddest hotel rooms, view-wise, that you may ever have the pleasure of staying in.

This is the Solarium room at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos, New Mexico. It's rad for a couple of reasons - firstly, because it's the only house with three stories in Taos, so you can see for miles, and second, because it's the old sun roof when it was an actual house, so it's glass-walled on all four sides. Which makes for some truly killer views of Taos and the mountains around it - particularly when it's snowing, as it is now.
