I have been coming to Santa Fe for years for both business and pleasure, so have stayed in the big pricey hotels and many of the small inns that abound in this town. How wonderful to have stumbled across this hidden gem of an inn, tucked away on a dead end street near the Plaza, so you hear none of the traffic or hustle bustle of the town. The décor is a stunning blend of Victorian and Asian, with rich oriental rugs and period antiques. I would start my day with coffee in the lovely gardens, listening to the bird calls from the huge trees that surround the property. Then a fabulous breakfast (the blue corn waffles are heavenly!) before hitting the shops, galleries and museums. They also have a fun wine & cheese hour each night, which I tried to get back for. I met some really interesting people at both breakfast and the cocktail hour, which made the trip that much more enjoyable. I had to move rooms during my stay, as this was high season and I booked late, but I was very happy in both. The Morning Glory, aptly named for the streaming morning sunlight, is a huge room with a sumptuous bed and armoire. The bed was so comfortable it was hard to get up in the morning, but the weather was so perfect that I felt the need to get out and see the sights. My favorite was the suite in the back gardens, which was even more quiet and private, and had an inviting window seat. Wish I'd had more time to just hang out and read. All in all, a fabulous stay and definitely a place to come back to again and again.
