The business-friendly Eldorado Hotel & Spa offers is just two blocks from the Plaza, and offers some great features such as a fine-dining restaurant, an excellent spa, and some of the largest business facilities in town. But while the Southwestern-themed rooms are attractive and clean, they are showing some wear. It's worth comparing rates with Inn and Spa at Loretto, a fresher-feeling four-pearl option with an equally unbeatable location near the Plaza.

The Lodge at Santa Fe is a mid-range hotel without the frills of a destination resort. The 128 rooms and suites are spacious, comfortable, and feature Southwestern-influenced decor, such as Pueblo-style art and carpeting, and adobe fireplaces (in some rooms). Room perks include coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi (though some guests complain about a weak signal), and mountain views. Some rooms also have balconies and separate tubs and showers. A free shuttle brings guests to the nearby Plaza, Santa Fe's historic square, and there's a good New Mexican restaurant on-site. There are additional hotel highlights such as a lobby with a wood-burning fireplace, an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, a small fitness center, free parking, and a wedding chapel. Travelers wanting to be closer to the old town might prefer Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe, which is one block from the Plaza.

The Inn of the Governors is an upper-middle-range hotel three blocks from the Plaza. Colorful Santa Fe-style decor gives the rooms and interior spaces a cozy, authentic feel, and the hopping Del Charro Saloon attracts the locals and serves tasty eats. A free breakfast buffet, afternoon tea and sherry, and free covered parking all add good value to this charming hotel -- and the heated outdoor pool and whirlpool are nice perks (though the pool is on the small side). Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe is another great mid-range option near the Plaza, but it lacks Inn of the Governors' pool.

The mid-range DoubleTree Santa Fe is located among several other chain hotels along the Cerrillos Road strip, about six miles from the Plaza. The Holiday Inn delivers all the budget traveler staples: free parking, free Wi-Fi, and rooms with microwaves. There's a Jacuzzi and a heated indoor/outdoor pool as well, though some may find its layout awkward for swimming. The chain-like rooms are bright and clean, with comfortable beds. The Santa Fe Sage Inn has similar prices and a location closer to the Plaza, but lacks the Jacuzzi and microwaves.

With friendly staff, homey Santa Fe style, and individually decorated rooms, the upper-middle-range Las Palomas can feel more like a guest house than an inn. While there aren’t a slew of extra property features, the lobby offers up cozy sitting spaces and free coffee, cookies, and espresso drinks all day long from the hotel’s little kitchen, which also serves up delicious made-to-order breakfasts, included in the rate. The hotel’s 60 guest rooms are spacious and rustic, highlighting natural materials and a southwest color palette, with amenities like mini-fridges, microwaves, and bathrobes. Multi-bedroom apartments with full kitchens for up to eight are also available. The location’s convenient; a 10-minute walk will take you to the heart of downtown or the Railyard art’s district. Travelers could compare rates with the similarly styled but smaller Inn at Vanessie.

The Inn at Santa Fe is a pet-friendly, mid-range property adjacent to the popular Fashion Outlets of Santa Fe. But, it’s a 20-minute drive into downtown and only a couple of restaurants are within walking distance. It offers a solid amenities package, including free shuttles to downtown, free hot breakfast, fitness center, pool, guest laundry room, and an American restaurant/bar. Southwestern-style rooms are well equipped with coffeemakers and mini-fridges, but they’re on the small side and rather bland. As an alternative, the Comfort Suites Santa Fe usually has better prices and its rooms are nicer; it’s also closer to downtown, but doesn’t have shuttles or an on-site restaurant.

With a hard-to-beat location next to the Plaza, this upper-middle-range property is within walking distance of Santa Fe's top attractions. Its restaurant and bar offer outdoor seating with good views of the busy street, and the lobby features authentic art from the nearby village of Chimayo. Handcrafted decor and furniture can also be found in Chimayo's 56 rooms and suites, which are among the largest in Santa Fe (between 400-800 square feet). However, not all of the rooms can be accessed from the elevators. Another drawback is that this three-story boutique hotel lacks a fitness center or pool. For those amenities, consider Hotel Santa Fe -- the only Native American-owned hotel in town -- but the rooms aren't as big as the ones at Chimayo.

The 24-room The Inn of the Five Graces is one of America's most extraordinary small luxury inns. Situated on a quiet side street a five-minute walk from Santa Fe Plaza, the inn is housed in a series of stone and adobe buildings, some of them dating from the 1600s. The interiors feature an east-meets-west decorative style with a superb and thoughtfully chosen collection of art and antiques from the Southwest, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia. Service is warm, gracious, and unobtrusive. Unlike some of its Santa Fe luxury hotel competitors, the inn has no swimming pool, hot tub, or sauna, but it does offer an outstanding full-service spa with Indian-style treatments. Guests enjoy a free cooked-to-order breakfast in the morning and free snacks and drinks in the afternoon. Rooms are lavish and come with authentic kiva fireplaces, plush featherbeds, and deep soaking tubs. The Inn of the Five Graces is among the most expensive hotels in Santa Fe -- but for good reason.

One of Santa Fe's best small hotels, the 71-room Inn on the Alameda is an upper-middle-range inn in the typical Southwestern style. While not as luxurious as La Fonda, Inn of the Five Graces, and the other top Santa Fe hotels, the inn offers quiet, comfort, style, and gracious service with thoughtful touches. A stay here includes an ample free breakfast buffet, afternoon wine receptions, and soaks in an outdoor hot tub. Housed in adobe-style buildings, rooms are individually decorated and come with coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and quiet balconies or patios. The hotel is close enough to be only a seven-minute walk to Santa Fe Plaza, but far enough away that rates are cheaper than more centrally located hotels. Parking and Wi-Fi are both free.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe offers lots of value-added amenities and a downtown location near the Plaza. Its 182 guest rooms have attractive, contemporary decor, and they're nicely equipped with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Many also have separate showers and tubs. A hot breakfast and an evening reception with cocktails and snacks is free, as is Wi-Fi throughout. Other highlights include a spacious 24-hour fitness center, on-site restaurant, and rooftop terrace with a bar, pool, and whirlpool that are open year-round. But valet-only parking costs extra, and the hotel doesn't offer shuttle service to the city center as several competitors do. Travelers who want to accommodations in the heart of downtown can check out La Fonda on the Plaza, but rates can be higher.
