About The Area
The Five Graces, near everything downtown, is just two blocks away from the Plaza and the Palace of the Governors, and is right in the heart of the city. The Santa Fe Playhouse is next door, and the Santa Fe Opera and Santa Fe Symphony are nearby. The cultural, historic and retail centers of Santa Fe are just blocks from the Inn, as is Canyon Road, a lively thoroughfare of galleries, shops and restaurants. Within the city limits are some remarkable museums - the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, the New Mexico History Museum and the Museum of International Folk Art, drawing visitors from around the world.
The area around the city is magnificent and well worth exploring. You will find at Bandelier National Monument the ancient, 12th century cliff dwellings of the Anasazi. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains span the horizon east of the city and the Jemez Mountains stretch out to the west. To the South is the famed "Turquoise Trail," a breathtaking route through the heart of New Mexico, which crosses the Sandia Crest and wanders through the old mining towns of Golden, Madrid and Cerrillos - now hubs of theatre, art and music. The high mountain town of Taos is famed for its epic skiing. There is hiking and whitewater rafting, mountain biking and fly fishing, all in the Santa Fe basin. Nothing is beyond reach - mineral springs, spas, hot air ballooning, horseback riding through the mountains, and the world's most varied environment for golf.
Santa Fe, high desert city of stone and adobe, is an American treasure. There is no place like it anywhere in the world. And the Inn of the Five Graces is the most luxurious, magical, hospitable place from which to set out every morning, and see it.
