"Ten Thousand Waves is atypical of upscale Santa Fe accommodations... nestled on a hillside four miles east of downtown, and known foremost as a spa rather than a hotel."

"This place is on the south side of the Santa Fe River, but within easy walking distance of the main plaza. Its tranquil location, on a small, mostly pedestrian street, is one of its many pleasures." Full review
Gayot Gayot
"At this rambling collection of vintage Spanish Colonial-style buildings on Santa Fe's oldest street... the rooms mix the Southwestern vibe that's typical in Santa Fe with Asian sensibilities."

"While many area hotels offer a subtle interpretation of Southwestern design (adobe walls, kiva fireplaces, local art), there’s nothing understated about the Inn at the Five Graces." Full review
