Inn of the Five Graces - Santa Fe - reviews of Inn of the Five Graces in Santa Fe

At this unique Santa Fe hotel the Orient and the Old West meet, surprisingly at home in each other's arms. Interlocked honey-walled adobe courtyards, and overhead, a dazzling blue blanket of sky pulled tight across the city of Santa Fe. Twenty-four guest suites, odd and mysterious and deeply luxurious, each a dream of Scheherazade. A suite winds around on itself, leading from room to hidden room, the ceilings thatched with woven straw or carved by hand hundreds of years ago in a land far away. Astonishing bathrooms, cavernous rounded tubs filled feet deep with steaming water, crowned by vivid tile mosaics made from bowls and urns that once were.

Every morning a full breakfast of baked breads, delicate crumbly muffins, platters of fresh vibrant fruit, bowls of yogurt, eggs the way you like them, regional favorites, hot coffee and tea and chilled crystal carafes of juices the colors of sunrise. For lunch and dinner, glorious Mexican-inspired food can be had all over Santa Fe and other wonderful fare as well. Let the concierge get you a table at one of the city's finest restaurants, or explore the narrow ancient streets on your own and find a culinary gem hidden in an old, low-ceilinged adobe.

It is a magical city and a magical inn. The Orient and the Old West have much to say to each other; come and hear the conversation. What are the Five Graces? The inn is graced with five ways to experience the splendor of the world. Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste.
