Travel + Leisure Readers' 5 Favorite Hotels in Santa Fe of 2024
These properties in our annual "World’s Best Awards" survey for 2024 showcase what Santa Fe does best — art.
If you were to point to "creativity" on a map, you'd be squarely putting your finger on Sante Fe, New Mexico. The high-desert town is a beacon for artists, but it's equally inviting to those simply looking to unwind in a city filled with charm. From its vibrantly painted adobe homes to bustling markets and renowned festivals, Santa Fe has something to entice everyone — including some rather fantastic hotels.
How Voting Works
Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Over 186,000 T+L readers completed the 2024 survey. A total of more than 700,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.).
Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, inn, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below:
Rooms/facilities
Location
Service
Food
Value
For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses.

What Readers Loved
In the 2024 World's Best Awards, readers showed love for hotels that are so distinctly Santa Fe in style, you couldn't imagine them anywhere else. That includes the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, which moved from No. 4 in 2023 to No. 2 this year — a spot that boasts Southwestern decor and roaring fireplaces in each room for those chilly desert nights — and La Posada de Santa Fe, A Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spa, which snagged the No. 5 placement, a boutique hotel that sits on six private acres but is just a 10-minute walk from the town's historic plaza. It's a returning favorite, however, that once again tops this year's list. Keep reading to see the entire list, including your No. 1 pick, The Inn of the Five Graces.
The Winner

For the second year in a row, The Inn of the Five Graces was chosen by T+L readers for a host of reasons. "This is a design dream," one reader said. "The hotel is unbelievably beautiful. The food and service are outstanding, and the location is perfect." Each room inside this boutique hotel is more spectacular than the last, with bright splashes of color via the plush furnishings, artwork on the walls, and tile on the ceilings. The inn also has perhaps the most privileged location in the city, just a quick walk from must-see sights like the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the New Mexico Museum of Art, making it ideal in every way.
