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

"The 81-room upscale boutique, housed in a historic building two blocks the Santa Fe Plaza... features simple, mission-style decor inspired by the principles of St. Francis of Assisi." Full review
Star Service "In summer, the long, ground-floor veranda in front is one of the better people-watching sites in town; new seating makes it one of the comfiest, too." Full review
Gayot "If you're seeking a good value while still wanting historic character and convenience to downtown Santa Fe... this 1923 three-story hotel is a perfect choice."
Lonely Planet "All in all, it's retained its historic ambience, blending luxurious touches with a nicely underplayed Spanish missionary theme." Full review
Jetsetter "Historic but smartly updated Old World hotel in the heart of Santa Fe’s artsy, ancient Plaza district." Full review
Frommer's "Combining a simple, historic aesthetic with modern luxury. Pillar candles flicker on the plaster walls and wide stone floors in the lobby, while the rooms are sparely but tastefully decorated" Full review
