As the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, it stands to reason that Santa Fe has history and culture in abundance.

Known as "The City Different," the capital of New Mexico rests in the Sangre de Cristo mountains and draws tourists from around the world thanks to its singular adobe architecture accented with pops of turquoise, a booming art scene, and excellent boutiques selling everything from vintage couture clothes to handcrafted Native American jewelry and woven rugs. And for those who like spice, the food in Santa Fe is some of the best in the country, featuring mouthwatering cuisine marked by the hot and smoky flavors of red and green chile.

A year-round destination, some travelers are drawn to the plethora of museums and galleries, while others flock to the exceptional outdoor offerings ranging from hiking and white water rafting to skiing and trail rides. With so many visitors converging on the city year after year, it's no surprise that the hotel scene has grown to be as eclectic as the city's recreational pursuits.
