The Mystic Reincarnated
OUR PAST LIFE: THE SILVER SADDLE MOTEL
Built in 1948, The Silver Saddle Motel was an original motor lodge on original Route 66. With its western style, the motel welcomed visitors for 75 years, offering them a vintage version of Santa Fe.
In honoring the history and presence of The Silver Saddle, The Mystic has keep the footprint of the original rooms and expanded the lobby to now include a café, bar and two lounges. The High Desert Hideaway, our extensive backyard, was created out of an unused section of the property, and now offers a unique event space to celebrate weddings and all other special occasions.
The Mystic has repurposed various items from The Silver Saddle in this, its next life, to also honor its roots and legacy, never forgetting where our little gem originated.
