La Fonda on the Plaza
An authentic example of one of Santa
Fe’s 4-Diamond hotels, La Fonda on the Plaza
offers three classic New Mexican dining ex-
periences including a one-of-a-kind, season-
al, outdoor cocktail bar. Breathtaking event
venues showcase views of the Cathedral Ba-
silica of St. Francis of Assisi, creating an idyllic
location for Santa Fe weddings and events.
There are scores of additional options
in Santa Fe, many within an easy walk of the
historic plaza. They include bed-and-break-
fasts, inns, hotels and motels, full service re-
sorts, vacation rentals, and more.
The nearest major air gateway is Albuquerque
International Airport (ABQ), 65 miles to the south,
although Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF) itself also
has limited service (via Denver on United Express
and via Los Angeles and Dallas on American Eagle).
Once in Santa Fe, you’ll find a city compact
enough that you comfortably can take in down-
town and its historic districts on foot or by utilizing
the free Santa Fe Pickup shuttle, which connects
many of the central hotels with museums and other
points of interest. For trips farther afield including
the ski slopes, there are local buses and taxis.
