2 Best Hotels in Day Trips from Santa Fe, New Mexico

Intimate and peaceful, this classic adobe inn offers sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo range and contains nine charming rooms decorated with antiques and Native American and other regional arts and crafts. The Luminaria Room, in the main house, has a private patio, viga ceilings, and a brick floor. The separate one-bedroom Casita Suite has a kiva-style fireplace, tile floors, kitchenette, and a sitting area. There are several covered porches, and a massive bird-feeding station draws dozens and dozens of birds. 

This antiques-filled three-story log-and-stone home is set in the evergreen folds of the Sandia Mountain foothills, with 4 acres of wooded grounds beckoning outside the back door. The top two floors have rooms with balconies and big picture windows that bring the lush mountain views indoors. The third-floor room also has cathedral ceilings; some rooms have fireplaces or jetted tubs, and one has its own private entrance. Breakfast, served in a plant-filled room or outside on a patio with a fountain, often includes fresh fruit, pancakes, or waffles with sausage.
