This resort is in the center of atmospheric Santa Fe, the country’s oldest state capital. Walk to Santa Fe’s superior restaurants and museums (don’t miss the Georgia O’Keeffe). Fine shops selling Southwestern landscape paintings, Navajo rugs, turquoise jewelry, and Pueblo pottery line the nearby Plaza.

Is La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa Right for You? :
If you prefer cottage-style accommodations to conventional rooms, you’ll like La Posada’s casita lodgings. They are very private in fact and in feeling. Although La Posada is right in Santa Fe, it feels secluded, and overall offers romance and relaxation rather than a plugged-in urban mood.
Gourmets will appreciate the resort’s award-winning Fuego restaurant, and spa mavens will like Avanyu.
