Testimonials About Santa Fe Hospitality Group's Jim Bradbury and Others:
"We went to visit the Bradburys in Santa Fe and ended up in a racing skull in the middle of a beautiful lake at sunrise on an Indian Reservation. Then we played 18 holes of golf. Who knew?" Lisa T, Grand Rapids, Michigan
"Jim is an extremely pragmatic and knowledgeable leader in the hospitality industry who communicates with a sense of humor, reality and style." Art Bouffard, Executive Director, New Mexico Hotel Association "I worked with Jim on the National Trust's Historic Hotels of America Board of Directors when he was the Chair. His abilities as an administrator, coalition builder and his overall knowledge of the hospitality industry are exemplary." Paul Sacco, President, Massachusetts Lodging Association" "We learned how to organically dye hand-spun yarn with a world renowned weaver who happens to have work exhibited in museums throughout the world. We looked at each other and said, 'WOW... this is too cool for words...' and looked at our blue hands and thought... it's worth every moment of scrubbing to get rid of this coloring... or maybe we'll form a new Blue Person Group. Fun! Who knew?" Carol and Richard, Dallas Texas
"I've known Jim since our days as young men in Paris. My family and I recently visited him in Santa Fe and we did a "dine around" the city for a couple of days, hiked into the Sangre de Cristos and toured the North Country. I'm a food snob who has dined in the best restaurants in the world; I can honestly say that with just one notable exception - when the chiles lit my mouth on fire - my family and I enjoyed every taste and flavor experienced in this little mecca tucked into New Mexico. We'll be back." Arturo, Paris, France

"Jim turned around community and customer perception of the Hassayampa Inn in very short order. During and after Corporacion de la Fonda's acquisition of the Hassayampa Inn, here in Prescott, Arizona, I watched Jim upgrade and update the operations, hire professional staff and add great marketing programs to this historic location. He was able to rekindle the former glory of this community icon of hospitality and reposition the Inn as "the place" to see and be seen in Prescott. Renovations and additions increased meeting space for the community three-fold." Ralph J. Weiger, retired CEO of Midas Corp, co-founder and CEO of Jiffy Lube "Jim is an outstanding hotel executive, specializing in independent/historic/boutique properties.
