However, if you are looking for a cultural immersion that offers luxurious surroundings and native American cuisine and art, no hotel in Santa Fe equals what you can experience at the Native American-Owned & Operated Hotel Santa Fe The Hacienda & Spa.

My husband, teenage daughter and I tremendously enjoyed the convenience of Hotel Santa Fe Hacienda & Spa. Our suite was spacious and yet comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary Happy Hour each night for Hacienda guests, which featured juices, wine, cheeses, crackers, and chicken wings. A toasty fireplace complimented all this. Complimentary breakfast is also served at the Hacienda and features a variety of breads, muffins, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, and fruit. This comfy amenity ended up being one of our favorites at the hotel.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the reasons we love Hotel Santa Fe so much is the strategic location in Santa Fe. It is convenient to most Santa Fe attractions. Once settled in, be sure to explore the food, history, art, architecture and outdoor adventure of Santa Fe. It’s like traveling to a foreign country but with the convenience of being in the U.S.
Ask the hotel about special days and itineraries they can arrange in the oldest city in New Mexico, such as Skiing Day, Western Day, Native American Day, Spa & Shopping Day, Spiritual Santa Fe Day, Food & Dining Day, and Museums & Culture. The City Different was established as a Spanish provincial capital and is adorned with adobe buildings and a culture that weaves Native American, Anglo, and Hispanic heritage into a rich cultural experience.
