Brimming with personality at every point, this extravagantly decorated adobe building near Downtown Santa Fe’s Historic District, Barrio de Analco, is a truly unique, independent, boutique hotel.
Part of an extensive family legacy of worldwide art collecting, the Five Graces showcases many of the exquisite pieces collected by owners Ira and Sylvia Seret.
They began their collection in Afghanistan, but the property is adorned in gorgeous work from around the globe.
You’ll find the classic Santa Fe kiva fireplaces next to stunning miniatures, intricately carved stone lattice screens next to hand-laid mosaics.
There’s often the risk of feeling like your eccentric aunt’s attic in self-furnished inns, but the Five Graces is a masterclass in eclectic design.
It’s more Osman Hamdi Bey than Grey Gardens, thankfully, with a sense of boutique luxury in every inch.
There’s something about knowing that most of your surrounding were made by hand, by craftsmen, that adds that little extra touch of comfort.
A top-notch restaurant, exclusive speakeasy-style bar, daily gourmet breakfast, and a magnificent spa also help.

For food and drink at Five Graces, there’s not much call to go outside the hotel, though we always recommend sampling the local cuisine.
What we will say, is that if you can find a breakfast in town to top the one here, we’d still probably eat…more of this breakfast.
Take it in your room, in the dining room, in the courtyard, just not the spa, please.
It’s worth sampling the locally-grown chilies in southwest inspired dishes, though those with more delicate pallettes will enjoy the homemade granola.
Other dining areas include mezcal-y speakeasy Bar Analco and The Pink Adobe, home of the refurbished Green Dragon, former wood-beamed haunt of Georgia O’Keefe.
They cook up some lovely New Mexico Cajun dishes, sure to serve you something new and exciting.
And then, of course, there’s the spa. To boast any sort of Middle-Eastern influences is close to a promise to have a great spa, and this is no exception.
The decor is stunning, the services many and varied.
It includes a lounge with a fire pit, fitness center, meditation room, yoga studio, steam room, and soaking pool.
You can enjoy massage, skincare, and even private training sessions for fitness and yoga.

And what about the reviews? What did other guests think?
Some things guests liked:
”The best hotel experience I have ever had. The room was breath taking and well designed. Every single member of the staff was so friendly and helpful. The magic was in the details from the fresh chips and salsa to the comfort of the room….”
”I booked the Inn of the Five Graces as an anniversary celebration for my husband and I. We have wanted to stay and experience the hotel for some time. Our stay was fabulous, the best hotel experience we have ever had. From the moment we checked in our stay was wonderful. The check in staff were lovely and gave us personal tour of hotel and our room. Our room was amazing, incredible decor, a separate kitchen / bar, a kiva fireplace, a very comfy king bed and the most incredible bathroom. Our breakfast the next day was lovely and included in booking. We highly recommend the hotel for a unique and luxe Santa Fe experience….”
Some things guests didn’t like:
”Layout of the room was a little bit uncomfortable for three people. the pullout sofa bed was not viable to sleep on for more than a couple of nights…..”
”My only complaint would be that the rooms, esp the bathroom, are a little dark and could use more lighting. I had a single room and this was the case, by my friends’ double room was a bit brighter (more light sources). It was a little noisy from the traffic but it wasn’t terrible. I did have some very noisy neighbors watching aports on TV and yelling. I called the front desk and I think they must have moved to another room….”
