Consider the Nose to Toes therapy with its Japanese head, neck, shoulder, and foot rubs.

"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 Japanese spa 4 miles from the Plaza features 13 gorgeous, Zen-inspired freestanding guest houses."

"Perhaps more than any other hotel in Santa Fe, this 71-room adobe hideaway on the edge of downtown reinforces the capital's small-town feel."

"Handmade furniture, kiva fireplaces, luxe linens, elegant breakfasts and afternoon wine-and-cheese receptions bring B&B-style elegance to a pleasantly efficient hotel."

"This casual colloquial hotel fills the gap between the full-service La Fonda and the compact bed-and-breakfasts, and is quite popular despite not having a pool, full-service restaurant or spa."

Avoid 130 to 133, also in the same complex, as these suffer from their location next to noisy Paseo Peralta.
Gayot
"Just a five-minute walk from Santa Fe's Historic Plaza... There is something about this intimate welcome that makes you feel as if you've arrived to stay in a close friend's casita."
