Santa Fe, New Mexico
With a designated historic district, art galleries galore, and a thriving local food scene, it’s easy to see why Santa Fe has been named one of the best cities in the US by Travel + Leisure. The Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi is an award-winning boutique hotel with Pueblo-style rooms close to downtown’s art galleries and museums. Similarly located, Bishop’s Lodge is an authentic Southwestern retreat that promotes healing and wellness throughout their 317 acres of national forest.
The Land of Enchantment
In the sweeping foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, Santa Fe is a southwestern beacon of light and a UNESCO-designated Creative City. Spanish and Native American influences are apparent, from the town's traditional adobe-covered pueblos to its open-air markets and shops, many adorned with colorful ristras—hanging strings of dried chiles. The Santa Fe Plaza is the beating heart of the city, a Spanish-style gathering place that takes its design cues from traditional colonial cities. Artists Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz called Santa Fe home, and it's easy to see why—there’s beauty to behold around every corner.
