The Inn of the Five Graces

My wife and I like Santa Fe so much, we purchased a house there to stay in when we visit Santa Fe. The food there is fantastic, not what you would call Mexican but Southwester. There are many places to eat from our favorite the “Pantry” on 1800 Cerrillos to “Harrys” on Old Pecos Highway is some of the best. We love the yearly Indian Market in August, the Spanish Markets and attending the various Pueblos tat hold their crafts fairs. This week (9/8 and 9/9) is Fiesta week with 100 year old parades, animal parade, and crafts fair iron the Plaza. Christmas is always beautiful with trees all lighted up around the Plaza an on the last day on August, there is the burning of Zozobra, a great event. Since they built capital city sits at 7000 feet, the sky is bright blue and lots of stars at night. There is all kinds of entertainment around from the outside nationally known Opera house to the classic theater like San Diego has. Skiing is great in the winter from Ski Santa Fe to the well known Taos ski resort. The have PBR rodeo in the summer and many other activities from hiking to stream or lake fishing. But of course, you can't omit the over 300 art galleries and stores to the 11 plus museums from New Mexico History museum where the Palace of the Governors is located (the oldest govt. building in the US) to Native Indian museums, to the world famous “Folk Art Museum”. Yes, Santa Fe is a place to visit.

Specifically for the spa: The highlight of our trip. Bar none. The facilities are BEAUTIFUL. The services were FANTASTIC (one of the best massages I've had). The service was IMPECCABLE. This place was truly one of the most luxurious experiences I've had - on this trip and many others. I cannot recommend it enough. Every single nook and cranny of this spa is filled with something beautiful. I absolutely adored this experience.

The Inn Of Five Graces is a very unique hotel that certainly delivers on the 5 C's of Relais and Chateau, Charm, Courtesy, Character, Calm, and Cuisine. It is an assemblage of old adobe buildings in the heart of Santa Fe. The exterior definitely belies the exquisite rooms inside. Our junior suite was one of the prettiest rooms we have stayed in with furnishings and decor assembled from the owners travels in the Middle East combined with Santa Fe style that work great together. The mosaics and tile work in our bathroom are truly a piece of art. The small touches in the room like a great mini-bar, coffee, snacks and first class bath products are well thought out and help enhance the stay. The little private nooks and crannies in the gardens and patios are perfect for reading and relaxing in the New Mexico sunshine. The staff is delightful and friendly. Housekeeping keeps the rooms spotless with two times a day service. The location, just off the central part of Sante Fe near the Canyon Road galleries is very convenient and puts almost everything in easy walking distance. What isn't in easy walking distance, the hotels courtesy car provides transportation. Great, world class hotel with a world class staff delivering a very nice guest experience. Highly recommended.

We chose the Inn for a long weekend stay to celebrate our 20th anniversary. What a place! We were upgraded to a larger room on arrival. The staff was warm and personable, and they helped us arrange a weekend with a good mix of outdoor activities and great food. The entire property is decorated with gorgeous imported rugs, tapestries, and carvings that the owners have curated from around the world. The owners have a freestanding import business in town, which we visited, and we came way with a gorgeous Afghan carpet as our souvenir from the trip. If you visit the inn, do not miss the opportunity to visit Seret and Sons- it was very worth our while. Food at The Pink Adobe was excellent. Great southwestern cuisine, spirited atmosphere. The highlight of our trip was the tequila tasting, which we did on arrival. I can’t say enough about the experience! We were taken to a private dining room and given a thoughtful tasting of several tequilas, along with the backstory of each. Our guide, Teeny-K (I might be spelling her name wrong) was knowledgeable, bubbly, and delightful. And the food pairings! Chef Andrew came out to serve each dish himself. Do not miss this experience- it was magical.

Simply one of the best places to stay. The staff is extraordinary, the setting beautiful, the attention to detail and the kindness of all we encountered was superior. The spa is serene. The snow was a bonus. We ate at the Pink Adobe the last night of our stay and that was our favorite evening. The room is beautiful. Full of people yet still felt intimate, the food and service were excellent. We are already planning our next visit.
