SANTA FE, NM
This month, La Posada de Santa Fe became New Mexico's first Starwood Luxury Collection hotel, joining the brand's portfolio of 86 properties.
La Posada de Santa Fe spans six acres in downtown Santa Fe and features a curated collection of art from 40 established American artists, as part of the hotel's connection to it's surroundings and local history.
The resort's 158 guest accommodations include adobe casitas, originally built for visiting artists and guest rooms in the French Second Empire-style 1882 Staab House mansion. The resort's spa offers contemporary and Native American style treatments.
The property offers 4,500 square feet of meeting space, accomodating up to 300 guests. Function spaces include ballrooms, boardrooms, hospitality suites and outdoor spaces. Playing off a fun southwestern tradition, planners can even invite the "tequila donkey" to an event, who will wander the gathering accompanied by a trainer and bartender, serving tequila shots.
"Santa Fe's charm as a tourist destination and a top five arts destination in the US, is due in no small part to its one-of-a kind hotels," said Peter Ives, mayor pro tem, city of Santa Fe. "By bringing one of the most influential brands in hospitality to Santa Fe, La Posada is once again helping to further distinguish our city as a premier southwestern destination. I could not be more pleased to welcome the Luxury Collection of hotels to Santa Fe."
