Fodor's "There isn't another property in Santa Fe to compare to this sumptuous yet relaxed inn with an unmistakable East-meets-West feel." Full review
Concierge "When you can't take another cheeky Kokopelli motif, this utterly incongruous Scheherazadian fantasy is your haven."
Star Service "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 "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."
Afar Magazine "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
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"A destination for a luxurious retreat within walking distance to many of the historic town’s best attractions, shops and restaurants." Full review

"Just a short walk from Santa Fe’s historic Plaza, The Inn of the Five Graces is housed within several restored buildings." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Staffers here are super-solicitous; if you have any questions about the property or things to do around town, just ask." Full review

"Smack in the middle of downtown Santa Fe—and just a stone's throw away from the 17th-century San Miguel Chapel—The Inn of the Five Graces is a reflection of the city's vibrant and eclectic tastes." Full review
Frommer's "Travelers seeking an exotic stay will like this place; it's of the same caliber as Inn of the Anasazi, but with more flair." Full review

Request one of the suites in the buildings on the north side of East de Vargas Street; they're more spacious and substantially built.

Fodor's "The kind of place where Lucy and Ricky might have stayed during one of their cross-country adventures, the El Rey was built in 1936 but has been brought gracefully into the 21st century." Full review
Frommer's "Staying at "The King" makes you feel like you're traveling the old Rte. 66 through the Southwest." Full review

Be sure to request a room as far back as possible from Cerrillos Road.
Travel + Leisure "A decidedly offbeat five-acre compound comprising 86 rooms in every imaginable configuration and style." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"This white-painted adobe compound, here since the 1930s, offers the most character and best value of the Cerrillos Road motels."

Ask for a room away from the road.
Michelin Guide "Built in the 1930s, renovated and well maintained, the motel boasts a Southwestern decor of hand-painted tiles and hand-crafted furnishings."
Gayot "The El Rey has been a fixture on Cerrillos Road since the 1930s, when fabled Route 66 ran through Santa Fe. The five-acre mini-resort remains one of the city's most appealing vintage properties."
DK Eyewitness "With a gracious lobby in a white adobe-style building, the El Rey is a mini oasis in Santa Fe."
Travel + Leisure "What began as a humble 12-room motor court in 1936 (back when Route 66 ran past it) has grown into a decidedly offbeat five-acre compound comprising 86 rooms in every imaginable configuration and style" Full review

Tip: Book a room toward the back of the property to avoid the aural and visual traffic along tatty Cerrillos Road.
Condé Nast Traveler "A next-gen Route 66 motel that’s full of character and mezcal—and just as popular with locals as out-of-towners." Full review
i
) The great thing about a roadside motel is you can just pull up to your room—you only need to go to the lobby or interact with anyone if you choose to, apart from at check-in.
Frommer's "This enchanting, historic adobe property, which opened on the Original Route 66 in 1936, is pure Santa Fe, or as the management says, "Dennis Hopper meets Georgia O'Keeffe." Full review
i
No two rooms are alike—fun for repeat visitors—and you’ll want to request a room back from busy Cerrillos Road.
