Stay in the heart of downtown Santa Fe at the intimate Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi (from $239). The 58 guest rooms feel like personal sanctuaries, with beamed ceilings and warm kiva fireplaces, bed pillows made from Pendleton blankets, C.O. Bigelow products in the bathrooms, and local artwork, like 100-year-old ledger prints. Nab a seat on the bustling patio for a prime people-watching vantage point, along with a potent Silvercoin margarita ($11) and snacks by Argentinian chef Juan Bochenski, like a trio of fluffy caprese, himate corn with green chile, and buffalo empanadas ($14).
Bunk with friends at one of the stylish abodes in the well-curated Casas de Santa Fe collection (from $225, four-night minimum). The boutique home-rental service has over 100 spots to choose from, ranging from one-bedroom casitas to large estates with Architectural Digest�worthy interiors. Even smaller setups are well-appointed with modern amenities (Sub-Zeros, Wolf Ranges), Molton Brown toiletries, local art (like Navajo rugs and ledger art) from neighboring galleries, and, in some cases, small patios, gardens, and courtyards. Nestled on quiet streets, homes are usually a stone’s throw from pedestrian-friendly areas like Canyon Road and in easy walking proximity to local attractions. A couple will love the century-old, whitewashed Casita Especial on Canyon Road, while the eco-friendly, two-bedroom Adobe Oasis and handsomely restored Casita Milagro will entice the art and food crowd looking to stroll Santa Fe’s galleries and restaurants.
Check into the historic Hotel St. Francis (from $161), named after the patron saint of Santa Fe and registered as the oldest hotel in Santa Fe (complete with 1922 origins). The minimalist rooms offer refined, earthy tones and embroidered light fixtures, high ceilings, and custom linens. At night, the candlelit lobby, peppered with religious prints, wood furniture, marble flooring, and arched ceilings, has the serene feeling of a monastery. Find a seat on the outdoor loggia with a book and order a happy-hour glass of New Mexican Gruet bubbly ($7) or a handcrafted cocktail like the Smoked Sage Margarita ($11) from the hotel’s Secreto Lounge, alongside nibbles like green-chile hummus ($6) or mac-and-cheese lollipops with gouda cheese and green chile ($10) from the onsite restaurant, Table de Los Santos.
