Hotel LaFonda - Taos, NM - Antique Hotels on Waymarking.com

"1922 brought brothers James and John Karavas, along with James’ wife Noula and their 5-year-old son Saki, to Taos in search of the American promise of a better life. They had emigrated from Greece to New York where Saki was born. On arrival in Taos they leased the restaurant in the Columbian Hotel. By the end of the decade they purchased the hotel from Maclovia's heirs. After completing major renovations, which included adding a second and third story to this pueblo revival style building, the brothers open the "La Fonda", Spanish for "the Inn", in 1937."
