Where to Stay?

Where indeed? There are hundreds of hotels in Santa Fe, from the Inn at the Anasazi to the dozens of motels along Cerrillos Road. Here's a list, but here are some favorites:

La Fonda - on the Plaza, reeking of history,
as it was the last stop on the Santa Fe Trail.

Inn at the Anazazi - elegant, great bar, excellent wine list. Located just off the Plaza

St. Francis - "European-style" (ie small) rooms, but very elegant, well located, and an excellent bar frequented by locals as well as tourists.

Inn of the Governors - a real "find" - downtown, cosy and reasonably priced.

Courtyard by Marriott - More typical hotel with decent pricing, good sized rooms and an indoor swimming pool
