Santa Fe, United States

The Inn of the Five Graces

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose this intimate, design-led adobe compound for a characterful Barrio de Analco stay with Santa Fe’s galleries and Plaza within walking distance.

About the hotel

In Santa Fe’s historic Barrio de Analco, this small inn spreads across a cluster of traditional adobe and river-rock buildings arranged around courtyards. Ira and Sylvia Seret reshaped the compound with a distinctive mix of Southwestern architecture, Silk Road textiles, furnishings, and mosaic work. Opened in 1996 as Serets’ 1001 Nights and renamed in 2002, it offers individually varied accommodations in a walkable downtown setting, with a spa, soaking pool, and the Pink Adobe restaurant on the property.

Choose it if

You want a small, courtyard-based inn whose adobe architecture and Seret-designed interiors make the building itself part of the Santa Fe experience.
You plan to explore downtown on foot: the Plaza is two blocks away and Canyon Road is one block away.
You value an on-property spa and heated soaking pool alongside a restaurant and courtyard bar.

Skip it if

You prefer a conventional single-building hotel with uniform rooms; this inn occupies a remodeled cluster of older buildings and offers individually varied accommodations.

Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

Tesuque, United States

Mountain65 roomsCountryside

In Tesuque, north of Santa Fe, this 57-acre resort occupies a high-desert hillside overlooking the Rio Grande River Valley and Jemez Mountains. Its 65 casita-style accommodations—56 guest rooms and nine suites—are spread across the landscape rather than gathered in a single hotel block. A former dude ranch, the property traces its hospitality history to Rancho del Monte, renamed Rancho Encantado in 1968; it joined Four Seasons in 2012. The experience centers on Southwestern character, open views and access to Santa Fe.

El Monte Sagrado

Taos, United States

El Monte Sagrado is a resort-scale Taos property a few blocks from the historic Plaza, with 84 accommodations across mountain rooms, suites and casitas. Its landscaped grounds feature ponds, waterfalls, cottonwoods and the Sacred Circle.

Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve

Raton, United States

Mountain35 roomsCountryside

In northern New Mexico’s Southern Rockies, Vermejo covers more than 558,000 acres, a sweep of alpine tundra, grasslands, lakes, and streams along the Colorado border. This is a wilderness reserve as much as a place to stay: guided wildlife outings, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing take guests across a landscape larger than many national parks. Lodging ranges from historic cottages and mountain cabins to individual guest rooms and private residences, including a turn-of-the-century mansion.

CIRQA

Arequipa, Peru

City11 roomsHistoric

In Arequipa’s historic centre, CIRQA occupies a restored former monastery whose volcanic sillar walls and central patio give the 11-room parador its sense of place. The rooms face interior corridors and are arranged around the patio, with three categories shaped by the building’s varied proportions and surviving architectural details. Dining draws on regional ingredients and Arequipeñan picantería traditions; the property also provides a quiet base for exploring the city’s historic streets and excursions beyond it.

Rosewood San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

CityHistoric

Rosewood San Miguel de Allende is a modern Mexican hacienda in the city’s historic quarter, where a gardened, courtyard-centered property sits within the urban fabric of the colonial center. Quarry-stone arches, hand-carved finishes and locally made details give the architecture a crafted character, while the hotel’s art collection and Art Concierge connect the stay to the city’s creative scene. Dining spans a rooftop terrace, garden kitchen and Mexican restaurant, making the property as much a base for the city as a destination within it.

San Ysidro Ranch

Montecito, United States

Countryside38 roomsRomantic

On Montecito’s inland side, San Ysidro Ranch spans 550 acres of hillside gardens in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Its 38 vine-covered, bungalow-style cottages are scattered across the grounds, with private patios, fireplaces and outdoor showers. The experience is garden-led and secluded rather than centered on a single hotel building: foothill trails start nearby, and some property views reach the Pacific and Channel Islands. Stonehouse, set in a former citrus packing house, gives the ranch a distinct historic dining anchor.
