THE MAGIC OF SANTA FE: A City of Contrasts

Only in Santa Fe can you find some of our nation’s oldest antiquities alongside some of its most avant garde artists. Here there is an abundance of sunshine and crisp, dry air that seems desert-like, yet the altimeter reads 7,000 feet and in winter the snow often falls several inches deep.

Honored by UNESCO as a “Creative City”— one of only nine in the world — Santa Fe is a melting pot of all the art forms, and has been for over a century. There is also an abundance of natural beauty everywhere you turn, and countless ways to experience it first hand; from a leisurely stroll around the Plaza to a vigorous hike toward a mountain peak.

Explore this unique city on the internet and you will want to explore it in person... Come and stay with us at La Fonda on the Plaza and you will want to return again and again to the magic of Santa Fe, the "City Different".
