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."

Fodor's "Alameda means "tree-lined lane," and this one perfectly complements the inn's location by the gurgling Santa Fe River." Full review
Concierge "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."
Lonely Planet "Handmade furniture, kiva fireplaces, luxe linens, elegant breakfasts and afternoon wine-and-cheese receptions bring B&B-style elegance to a pleasantly efficient hotel." Full review
Star Service "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." Full review

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."
OysterUpper-middle-range
"One of Santa Fe's best small hotels, the 71-room Inn on theAlameda is an upper-middle-range inn in the typical Southwestern style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "It’s all about privacy and sense of place: 71 secluded adobe rooms and suites open onto a flower-filled courtyard." Full review
Frommer's "It offers the level of service you'd expect in a larger upscale hotel, but in a smaller, more intimate setting...the whole place is done up in the traditional Southwestern Pueblo style" Full review
