Inn & Spa at Loretto

The inn's pueblo-style architecture with its multiple levels?like a stack of sculpted boxes?makes it one of Santa Fe's most photographed buildings. The lobby features a glowing fireplace, huge bouquets of fresh flowers, and a sculptural fountain of children at play. The lounge, just beyond the concierge desk, has a fireplace with a large sculpted bighorn-sheep skull and folk art. There's live music here nightly. Glass doors open onto the pool and sculpture garden. The inn caters to business and leisure guests who appreciate its sophisticated Southwestern style and convenient location one block from the Plaza, the city's hub. The hotel's intimate SpaTerre features Southwestern-, Indonesian-, Thai-, and Native American-inspired treatments. Signature services include the Sacred Stone Massage, the Native Desert Sage Massage, and the Volcanic Earth Clay Ritual. The Javanese Lulur Royal Treatment culminates with a soak in a claw-footed tub filled with fresh, fragrant blossoms. The Sisters of Loretto opened their school for girls on this site in 1853 and began construction of Loretto Chapel in 1873. The chapel resembles France's Gothic Sainte-Chapelle, with stained glass windows imported from Paris. When the school was sold in 1971, city officials recognized the chapel as a historic structure, preserved for its architecture and spiral "Miraculous Staircase." The chapel hosts weddings and classical concerts.

Larger-than-life bronzes of Native Americans, animals, and children join traditional folk carvings and other local art in the public rooms and throughout the grounds. Just beyond the lobby's glass wall is a patio with a large pool, heated throughout the winter, and two open-air spa tubs. The inn offers an array of one-of-a-kind shops selling Santa Fe art, clothes, and accessories. The on-site restaurant features regional American fare and views of the adjoining Loretto Chapel.
