Best hotels, facts and information in Santa Fe

Santa Fe, founded in 1607, is the capital of the state of New Mexico. With an elevation of 7000 feet, it is not only the United States' oldest state capital but also its highest. Santa Fe is consistently rated one of the world's top travel destinations for its confluence of scenic beauty, long history (by American standards), cultural diversity and an extraordinary concentration of arts, music and fine dining.   

Much of the city's attractiveness, from both scenic and cultural perspectives, arises from its setting in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This location produces a mild continental climate with four distinct seasons.

Like many towns initiated by the Spanish, Santa Fe has a central square that is a gathering place for all types. For hours of entertainment, pull up a bench and people watch; you'll rapidly gain an appreciation for how well the "City Different" nickname applies. Also check out one of the photogenic mission churches or interesting museums in town, or stop by for one of its many community festivals.
