Bottom Line

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.

Scene

Luxury inn with adobe buildings, courtyards, and beautiful art and antiques    

Tucked away on a side street across from the Santa Fe
Mission, the Inn of the Five Graces has a lush, exotic, and secluded feel. The
inn attracts a well-heeled crowd, who mingle and sun themselves in the
gardens and courtyards with songbirds, lush foliage, shady trees, flowers, and fountains.
The inn's interiors are a testament to the discerning eye and impeccable taste
of the designer couple Ira and Sylvia Seret, who scoured the globe from
Afghanistan to Tibet for unique art and artifacts. Every room is beautiful and
brightly colored, and even the business center and fitness center are superbly
decorated. The inn's romantic feel makes it popular with couples for weddings,
honeymoons, and anniversaries. Service is warm and gracious, and the service
quality ethic is so strong that tipping is discouraged. 

Location

Central location a five-minute stroll from Santa Fe Plaza    

Inn of the Five Graces is in the heart of Santa Fe in a historic
neighborhood next to the Santa Fe Playhouse and across the Old Santa Fe Trail
from the San Miguel Mission, the oldest church in the United States. The New
Mexico State Capitol is a block and a half south, Loretto Chapel is a block and
a half north, and Santa Fe Plaza is a five-minute walk north. The Cathedral
Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and Cathedral Park are a five-minute walk
northeast, while Palace of the Governors and New Mexico Museum of Art are a seven-minute walk north of the hotel. The hotel is a three-minute drive or 10-minute
walk east of Santa Fe Depot commuter rail station, and a 20-minute drive
northeast of Santa Fe Municipal Airport.

Rooms

Lavish rooms with fine art, antiques, and plush beds    

The Inn of the Five Graces has 24 spacious and quiet rooms
and suites in a variety of room types and configurations, with evocative room
names like Birdsong, Firebird, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Jade, and Lavender. The
exquisitely decorated rooms are positively filled with carefully selected Southwestern,
Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern textiles, furnishings, art, and
antiques, some close to 1,000 years old. Decorative and architectural elements
range from hand-laid tile mosaics, carved headboards and cabinets, and cathedral
ceilings, to Afghan dhurri rugs, Navajo rugs, Turkish kilim rugs, and Indian silk
embroidery. Rooms are awash in rich jewel tones of red, purple, orange, royal
blue, and emerald green. All rooms include authentic wood-burning kiva
fireplaces with a supply of wood for the night. Rooms also include plush
featherbeds with turndown service, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and
daily stocked minibars with items like nuts, gourmet chocolates, and fresh
salsa and tortilla chips (all items included in room rate). The huge bathrooms
come with luxury bath products, deep soaking tubs, separate showers, and double
sinks. Guests often take romantic candlelit baths. Some rooms have some
combination of skylights, French doors, private balconies or patios, mountain
or San Miguel Mission views, and kitchenettes. The special Luminaria House room
has five fireplaces and a lapis ceiling with red chandelier.
