The Inn of the Five Graces

We were so happy with our stay at the Inn at the 5 Graces. It was a last-minute trip for my husband's birthday. Julia. the concierge made all our dinner reservations, and got us tickets to the Balloon Fiesta and Melissa Ethridge tickets! All the staff was accommodating every step of the way! I could not have planned this trip with this team. We will be back.

“Delightful” and Enchanted” are two words that sum up our recent visit to Inn of the Five Graces. From the moment of our arrival, we were met with genuine warmth and hospitality from the valet to the front desk. Elissa, our concierge, seemed five steps ahead in anticipating our needs for our stay—she was the world’s most cheerful mind reader. She recommended activities for us both at the inn and beyond that made our stay so enjoyable. Our breakfasts were delicious, and Nancy made sure we never stared at an empty cup of coffee. Jorge and the crew at the valet whisked us around in the hotel’s car when we wanted to grab a bite off the property—but with the Pink Adobe next door, we didn’t need to go far for amazing NM cuisine. The grounds were impeccable, our room a work of art…my husband and I travel frequently and we are hard pressed to think of another stay that has been as magical in our 25 years of vacationing together. We truly will remember it as the Inn of 5000 Graces.

The Inn of the 5 Graces is a secluded hotel across from the San Miquel mission. The Inn follows the 5 Graces philosophy of sight, sound , touch, smell, taste and incorporates them into the soul of the inn. My comprehensive swanky suite with kiva fireplace, plush armchairs, Afgan rugs, Uzbekian headboards and a huge bath that housed a soaking tub and mosaic tiled walk-in shower was great. The oak-beamed Pink Adobe restaurant serves 'New Mexican Cajun' fare with the likes of: Crab Cake, Grilled Salmon, Rack of Lamb, and others. I fueled my appetite with French Onion Soup, the signature Clams Lucifer, & the Fire Roasted Chile Relleno......all savory dishes. The spa offers a range of massages, scrubs & mud therapies. I opted for a massage with salt stones. So, if you are looking to luxuriate in a hotel in the center of the city............................... ...............then try the ............Inn of the Five Graces..........a fusion of Southwest & Asian decor.

Location is great for walking around the wonderful city of Santa Fe.. Room was clean and lovely. The included breakfast was hearty and very good - made to order breakfast!🍳 Staff helpful and friendly. Loved social hour 4-5 everyday to meet folks and sip on Spanish sherry, tea or coffee with cookies. The Saloon /bar has great food offerings and Best priced drinks. Stay here and Enjoy it all!

From the moment we arrived, we felt like royalty. There was a crew who took care of our car, brought all of our belongings to our room. We wondered how dear the cost would be for valet parking, but learned that it was included with the room charge. We stayed in the persimmon room and were blown away by the quality of the very collectible Afghani textiles, carpets, tiles, weavings and wall coverings. We had a chance to speak to Ira the owner when we ran into him at his store. He said it took anywhere from six months to 1.5 years to finish each of the rooms which he largely did himself. There are so many fine touches in the rooms that it is truly amazing. The ceilings are as decorated as are the floors and walls. There is an interesting book in the room entitled Weaving Destiny authored by the owners, and describing how they lived in Afghanistan for 10 years from 1968 to 1978, and how they fell in love with the artisan craftsmanship of the Silk Road countries, especially Afghanistan. Aside from the intriguing decor, there are many other benefits. We got Enström toffee as a special treat each day and also delicious cookies. Soft drinks and snacks are included. There is a room cleaning done daily, and a nightly turn down service. We had a very helpful tour of the property and of our room upon arrival that explained how things work. Breakfast is included as well. We ate our way through the entire breakfast menu during our four night stay. Service was very attentive, and we thought the food was quite good. I especially enjoyed the morning fruit bowl and the sides of bacon. One day we decided to go up to Canyon Road and see some of the shops there. We asked about getting a ride and found there is a dedicated transportation service for hotel guests. We asked how much we should tip the driver and learned that there is no cash tipping allowed on this property. They did say we would get an envelope at the end of our visit and we could tip the staff if we wished. We did visit the spa to check out the swimming pool. It is a small pool, but very pleasant. Again the staff was very accommodating and made sure we were set up with towels and an umbrella and some relaxing chaise lounges. The inn of the five graces is a one-of-a-kind property. We found virtually no negatives in staying here and repeatedly heard our hosts asking us What else could they do for us? No mas, you have done all we could expect and more.
