El Rey Inn
The El Rey Court (formerly known as the El Rey Inn) is located at 1862 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This campus spans 5 acres and is located near what used to be Route 66. The property includes traditional adobe style buildings surrounded by gardens. History When El Rey Court was opened in 1936, it only had 12 rooms. The hotel was built in traditional Northern New Mexico adobe style. The hotel's developer was also responsible for constructing another hotel named El Vado which is located an hour south in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although these two hotels were built by the same developer, they have never shared the same owner. In 1936, both of these properties were located on the original U.S. Route 66. In 1937 the New Mexico State Legislature removed the US 66 designation from the original 1926 road through Santa Fe, sending traffic onto a bypass road (constructed in Arthur T. Hannett's final days as state governor) which ran as a straight line from Santa Rosa t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The island is located on the outskirts of the city centre and is connected by two bridges to the mainland. The original name in the Mayan language is not known.
