The best hotels in Santa Fe, according to GoTravelDaily, embody Southwestern charm and the city’s quirky essence.
Set against New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo foothills, Santa Fe serves as a home base for outdoor enthusiasts and a mecca for the arts. While visiting, many wish to explore the nearby mountains, browse shops where turquoise artists sell handcrafted bric-a-brac, and discover the galleries lining Canyon Road (and, of course, visit the Georgia O’Keeffe and International Folk Art museums). According to GoTravelDaily readers, the best hotels in Santa Fe — which include properties from major brands like Rosewood and Four Seasons as well as boutique options like Inn of the Five Graces — facilitate access to the city’s highlights.
Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, GoTravelDaily asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences globally — sharing opinions on top hotels, resorts, spa facilities, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on factors such as facilities, location, service, culinary offerings, and overall value. Properties were classified by their settings and amenities.
Located just a few blocks from Santa Fe’s main plaza, Inn of the Five Graces, No. 2 on this list, delivers on various levels. “I found myself surrounded by art, checking off each of the five senses,” said one reader, who appreciated the Jade Suite’s “intricately embroidered textiles, jewel-toned carpets, and hand-carved wooden trunks.” For guests wanting to immerse in nearby nature, the hotel’s concierge can arrange excursions like horseback riding, fishing, and rafting.
Another property that deepened reader connections to Santa Fe and its surroundings was Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado (No. 4). “A beautiful, small resort with excellent, romantic ambiance and an attentive staff,” one voter wrote. “The valet and adventure staff were great at helping us experience Santa Fe and its surroundings. The morning hike was very informative with stunning views of the ancient landscape.”
However, according to the GoTravelDaily audience, no hotel quite embodies the city’s distinctive culture as beautifully as Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi. Below, discover why readers consider it the top choice among the best hotels in Santa Fe.
1. Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi
Situated in the Santa Fe Plaza, this 58-room property beautifully balances Santa Fe’s diverse design styles, featuring Pueblo Revival architectural inspirations and cowboy-era elements such as exposed beams, leather upholstery, and open fireplaces. Guests can borrow bicycles for a ride around the neighborhood (the O’Keeffe Museum is a short distance away) or unwind at the bar indulging in a tequila tasting. “The service from the staff is excellent,” one reader remarked, while another described it as a “beautiful, romantic place.”
