Overlooking Las Cruces and the beautiful Mesilla Valley, Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces is located three miles from downtown Las Cruces, New Mexico State University, and historic old Mesilla. The Mexican colonial interior of the hotel reflects the area's rich history and tradition. All guestrooms feature a warm Southwestern style. The hotel offers fine dining in Ventana Terrace, as well as more casual, Southwestern favorites of Las Caras Bar and Grill, which also features nightly entertainment. Recreational amenities at the hotel include an outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi as well as a fully equipped 24-hour exercise facility. Old Mesilla's historic square, surrounded by old haciendas which have been converted into quaint shops and galleries, is just a few moments away from the hotel.
