Located close to the
Plaza in downtown Santa Fe, the Inn of the Turquoise
Bear occupies the home of Witter Bynner, who for decades
was a prominent citizen of New Mexico. Noted as a poet,
playwright and essayist, Bynner was a staunch advocate
of human rights, including the rights of women, Native
Americans and other ethnic minorities. Bynner's rambling
adobe villa, constructed in Spanish-Pueblo Revival
Style, is on the National Register of Historic Places
and is consider one of Santa Fe's most significant
structures. Bynner and Robert Hunt, his companion of
more than 30 years, were famous for the parties they
hosted in this house. Their celebrity guest list
included D. H. Lawrence, Ansel
Adams, Igor Stravinsky,
Martha Graham, Willa Cather, Edna St. Vincent Millay,
