La Posada de Santa Fe charms visitors with its smiling staff members and relaxing ambiance. You'll find a mixture of Southwestern and Colonial-era Spanish art throughout the property, and guest rooms are bright and colorful with amenities like complimentary high-speed wireless internet access and flat-screen TVs. There are plenty of excuses to vacate your accommodations, though. The resort grounds feature a spa and a heated outdoor pool, plus all kinds of activities are offered here, from tequila tastings and s'mores by the fire. And should you develop a case of cabin fever, you're just steps from Santa Fe's top attractions, including the Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. Just make sure you're back in time for dinner: Previous guests described the Southwestern fare served at Julia, A Spirited Santa Fe Restaurant as excellent. What's more, because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Like many of the elite hotels in Santa Fe, La Fonda has a rich history – this landmark property has been welcoming Santa Fe visitors since the 1920s. And according to guests, the hotel has aged well: Many describe La Fonda as charming and enchanting, marveling at the pueblo-style architecture and Native American artifacts. The guest rooms also feature this type of decor, as well as modern comforts such as flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Travelers also rave about the friendly and attentive staff and the mouthwatering cuisine served at La Plazuela. Just as its name suggests, you can find this hotel on the famous Santa Fe Plaza; a location that has attracted such visitors as fur trappers, gold miners, businessmen and families for centuries. However, some guests warn that La Fonda's central location can mean the surrounding streets stay a bit crowded and noisy through the night.
