Santa Fe’s nickname is “The City Different” and for good reason. The capital of New Mexico has a look all its own; upon arrival, the wares of local artisans will draw you toward eclectic shops and carefully curated museums. Browse the most artistic street in America—home to a high concentration of galleries on its narrow stretch of gravel. The more you explore Santa Fe, the more you’ll see that this is not your typical capital city. The downtown plaza resembles the ancient adobe pueblos that lend the region its enchanting feeling, and the mountains are still visible from quiet streets. If you’re wondering where to stay in Santa Fe, you’ve come to the right place.
It won’t be hard to get swept up in the natural wonder and handcrafted beauty of the city. In fact, some of the best Santa Fe hotels are located near well-known attractions like the Canyon Road Art District, so leave your suitcase behind and start exploring. This historic street contains over 100 art galleries featuring the best in Native American and traditional Spanish-style art. Brimming with everything from engraved leather and wooden sculptures to ceramic place settings and sparkling quartz jewelry, this collection of studios is a treasure trove.
Want some history? Follow the signs through the winding side streets to Los Alamos Historical Museum, and finish your day off at the Santa Fe Bandstand for an evening of local underground bands and nationally recognized acts backlit by a beautiful sunset. Cross centuries and continents as you peruse the Museum of International Folk Art one colorful quilt and ceramic sculpture at a time.
When the ancient artifacts awaken your curiosity and woo you beyond the modern city limits, follow the open road north to Taos Pueblo, a Native American settlement that has been continuously populated for more than 1,000 years. As you duck into the earthen homes and studios of Taos’ residents, let a sense of community, history, and resilience wash over you like the fresh water that rushes through the village.
You can’t order the regional cuisine in Santa Fe without your server asking, “Red or green?” This inquiry refers to the two types of chili peppers popular in New Mexican sauces, so choose wisely. The green chili tends to be spicier and tangier while the red chili is more mellow and rich.
Restaurants and taverns in the Plaza District and Railyard District serve dishes like enchiladas, chalupas, and chilis rellenos that are too good to pass up. Pair an authentic agave margarita with these rich meals to complete your exploration into local flavors. Many of the restaurants are casual and relaxed, but several luxury hotels in Santa Fe offer lavish dining options.
