Delicious lunch today at @sassellasantafe (lunch service season has begun). The chef has a remarkable collection of gins, including this Italian brand, giving endless cocktail combinations in your Negroni. Of special note was the Pear Carpaccio, with a mix of fruit flavors. I always enjoy their classic Caesar. #santafe #santafenewmexico #yummy #thecitydifferent #sassella #foodie #negroni #gin #lunch (at Sassella) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQwIAnp-Eo/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” -John Muir . . A magical sunrise hike with @krizzty here in “The Land of Enchantment”. So thankful everyday for all the amazing people in my life and the beauty that Mother Nature provides.

We gotta get our city back!

Chicoma Mountain, the highest point in the Jemez Mountains. This dormant volcano is 11,561 ft and considered sacred to many of the Puebloan peoples of New Mexico who traditionally regard it as the “center of all”. So fortunate to enjoy this view every day, but especially when covered in fresh fallen snow. #chicoma #jemezmountains #santafe #santafenewmexico #nature #beauty #thecitydifferent #outdoors (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYNHLMNJrOu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Where to Stay in Santa Fe

If you ever have the opportunity to fly to Albuquerque, I highly recommend taking a detour to Santa Fe. Santa Fe is an hour drive from ABQ airport and definitely worth the drive. While partnering with TOURISM Santa Fe, I had the pleasure of staying at two different hotels. I plan on returning to both establishments the next time I’m in town!

 Sunrise Springs

Ranked as the #3 top destination spa in the USA, Sunrise Springs Resort is a safe haven for those wanting to break away from society. Guests can detach from the digital world and immerse themselves in 70 acres of nature.

Sunrise Springs is also home to Blue Heron Restaurant. The sunlight radiating through each glass panel highlights the wooden features of the restaurant. Chef Rocky is skilled in the native flavors of Santa Fe.

In addition to hosting ojitos (natural hot springs), Sunrise Springs also features various activities that nourish the soul. The establishment’s success revolves around each guest’s well-being: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. 

During my one-night stay at Sunrise Springs, I interacted with silkies, played with service dogs, tasted freshly-picked vegetables, got lost on a scenic path, and ultimately discovered a sense of peace.  

Inn and Spa at Loretto

Holding its place as the most photographed building in New Mexico, Inn and Spa at Loretto is a household name. The tiered design of the hotel is magnificent to behold in real life. The spa is rated #5 for “Best Hotel Spa in the US”. While we didn’t have time to experience the spa for ourselves, we did get a tour of the tranquil space. The head aromatherapist even mixed a small vial of oils to cure altitude sickness. 

As mentioned in my previous Santa Fe post, the hotel’s restaurant Luminaria is a spot on The Margarita Trail. The blue corn bread muffins were so tasty that I find myself craving some as I write this post. The restaurant’s menu includes both Santa Fe dishes along with traditional American food. 

Inn and Spa at Loretto has much historical significance with its location, but that doesn’t mean the inn is outdated. In fact, the establishment has the only penthouse in Santa Fe. The luxury suite boasts a spacious living room, five terraces, sunroom, and 360 degree views of Santa Fe.

STUCCO, OXBLOOD, IRONWORK GUILDWORKS.global es Re-IMAGINinG HUMANITY guildworksdeXgnhyve.global 🌏 The feel and smell of the damp earthen plaster was subtle but remarkable. It seemed to stand out on the typically dry, Northern New Mexico day, and it seemed to somehow increase the quiet of the place. This technology survives from past times, from long before drywall and paint and wallpaper were available. It is still practiced, and loved, in this part of the world. In Santa Fe, age-old skills needed to create these beautiful walls are still in demand. 🌍 The original organic construction technique, adobe walls finished with mud plaster, has been used for centuries in this part of the American Southwest. It survives not only in the rural villages and pueblos but in the adobe houses of the wealthy, innovative or daring. Whether mud plaster or manufactured gypsum plaster, the end result depends on the craftsmanship of the individuals who are applying it. “This is an amazing thing about the Santa Fe market, the Santa Fe construction industry, is that we have some incredible artisans, many of whom are of Mexican descent, a sort of cadre of highly accomplished plaster artisans in this town. “They work with a level of skill rarely found anywhere else in the country.” 🌏 When you get to the point where plastering is happening, the whole acoustics, the temperature, the whole indoor environment totally changes, even if it’s on a frame wall,” he said. “There’ s this shift. Even the light and the sound sort of shifts with that mass you’re adding. Plaster adds a lasting quality, sort of a timeless feeling.” -excerpted/adapted, the NewMexican ⚙️⛓ #santafe #heritage #cultura #santafestucco #stucco #adobe #kiva #stuccofireplace #stuccowork #newmexicotrue #newmexico #santafeciudad #thecitydifferent #landifenchantment #heritagestyle #punahoualumni #diamondpointplaster #hardtrowel #instagram #igers—#santaferia #guildworksgrams (at Arroyo Seco, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv0tITJHZQk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m51kh7m3f9rd
