Where to Stay

We're not running a room block but have recommendations on where to stay. Most of these hotels are near the plaza and just a short walk from the venue! We do recommend booking early since July is peak season in Santa Fe and rooms fill up.

Hotels

Inn on Alameda

~10 min walk to the venue.

A small, owner-operated inn tucked between the Plaza and Canyon Road. The rooms feel like a thoughtful person lives there. Friendly staff, good breakfast, and a five-minute walk to the venue.

Pinon Court — La Fonda

On the Plaza — 8 min walk to the venue.

A nice and conveniently located hotel. La Fonda has been hosting guests on the Plaza since 1922. The Pinon Court rooms are the quieter, more tucked-away option inside the property.

El Rey Court

A short drive or Lyft from the venue.

A 1930s motor court that was restored. Casita-style rooms around a courtyard with strong design sensibility and good vibes. We love going to the bar and pool.

Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi

On the Plaza — 8 min walk to the venue.

The best hotel on the Plaza that most people haven't heard of. Rosewood-quality rooms in an old adobe building — good linens, thoughtful service, a restaurant worth going to even if you're not staying. The kind of place that doesn't need to announce itself.

Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza

On the Plaza — 8 min walk to the venue.

It's a Hilton, so you know what you're getting: comfortable rooms, good service, no surprises. The location on the Plaza means everything is walkable, and it's easy to book for groups.

The Drury

Downtown — 10 min walk to the venue.

The Drury occupies a building that has been, at various points in Santa Fe history, a post office, a federal courthouse, and allegedly a site of considerable supernatural activity. If you stay here please let me know since I really want to visit the basement (— Owen).

Ten Thousand Waves

15 min drive up the mountain. You will need a car.

The luxury pick. A Japanese-style mountain spa with cottages carved into the hillside above Santa Fe. Staying here gives you access to the hot tubs.

Four Seasons Rancho Encantado

~15 min drive from the venue. You will need a car.

If you want to make a proper trip of it, this is the one. A Four Seasons resort on 57 acres just outside of town — mountain casitas, hiking trails, horseback riding, the works. Very different vibe from everything else on this list, in a good way.

The Mystic

Short walk or ride to the venue.

Smaller, weirder, more Santa Fe than the others. The Mystic leans into the city's eccentric reputation without being embarrassing about it. Good spot if you want something that feels local rather than hotel-y.

Airbnb Neighborhoods

Plaza / Downtown

The most walkable option. You can get from your Airbnb to the venue, most restaurants, and the Plaza itself without needing a car. The tradeoff is that it fills up fast and tends to be the priciest area to stay.

South Capitol

A quiet residential neighborhood just south of downtown. It's close enough to walk to most things but still feels like a real neighborhood. Generally better value than the Plaza area. This is the last place we lived in Santa Fe and love the area.

Railyard / Guadalupe

Southwest of the Plaza and still close enough to walk everywhere. More contemporary than downtown, with galleries, good restaurants, and SITE Santa Fe. Also home to Santa Fe's wonderful farmer's market.

Canyon Road

East of the Plaza along the famous gallery corridor. Walkable to the venue and one of the prettier parts of Santa Fe to wake up in, especially in July when everything is in bloom. Tends to be quiet at night once the galleries close.
