About Santa Fe
Founded in 1610, enchanting Santa Fe is the second-oldest city in the US. Artists and heritage aficionados have long been drawn to this striking city, nestled in the Sangre de Cristo foothills of northern New Mexico, famed for its beautifully preserved architecture and creative spirit. The best places to stay in Santa Fe are centred around the impressive Santa Fe Plaza, the traditional heart of the city, with accommodation options including everything from intimate B&Bs and pet friendly properties to chic spa hotels for well-heeled couples and fun-loving families.
Some of our Santa Fe collections:
Renowned for its Pueblo-style architecture, New Mexico's state capital of Santa Fe is dominated by adobe buildings, colourful façades and crooked streets lined with shops, galleries, eateries and museums. Amble around the Santa Fe Plaza, and pop into the Palace of the Governors — the oldest public building in the USA — which now houses the New Mexico History Museum. The nearby Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is a particular highlight, as are the Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi, the Loretto Chapel and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture. The Museum of International Folk Art and the New Mexico State Capital are also fabulous for art lovers. For a real insight into the city’s complex and intriguing history, take a guided walking tour.
Don't miss venturing out of the city to El Rancho de las Golondrinas, a living history museum set across 200 acres of grounds. The Santa Fe countryside is glorious. Active travellers of all ages can enjoy cycling, hiking, horse riding and — during the winter months — skiing in the nearby mountains whilst in the area.
Delve into the city’s creative scene on Canyon Road, catch at show at the Santa Fe Opera House, or discover great galleries, exhibitions and events. Forward-thinking and fun, the community continues to champion independent makers and traditional crafts, with turquoise and silver jewellery, textiles, pottery and hand-carved furniture aplenty. Santa Fe is famous for its food, and its lively evening scene. Savour delectable regional cuisine at the city’s many terrific eateries — some of which are set within the best places to stay in Santa Fe!
