Just steps from downtown, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa is an elegant, upscale hotel with a historic past. In 1882, a prosperous merchant named Abraham Staab built a French Second Empire-style mansion on this site, which now houses the hotel bar. The property was greatly expanded in the 1930s with a series of Pueblo Revival casitas around the original Staab Mansion and carriage house. As a Marriott Tribute hotel, La Posada de Santa Fe pays homage to the Staab family as well as the indigenous cultures and colonial history of the surrounding area.
A luxurious hotel with exceptional amenities, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa is also committed to the health and wellness of its guests. Spa Sage offers a restful and restorative escape for travelers with a wide-range of massages, facials and salon services. Personal training and yoga classes are available through the hotel’s 24-hour fitness center. A heated outdoor pool and hot tub surrounded by six beautifully manicured acres make La Posada a rejuvenating oasis in this unique and dynamic city.
To further enhance the wellness experience at La Posada de Santa Fe, the hotel has added a selection of Pure Rooms, which provide travelers with the highest quality guest room experience. Pure Rooms eliminate contaminants to create a hypoallergenic environment that promotes self-improvement and peace of mind.

Wellness-minded travelers will also appreciate the art program at La Posada, which has come to be known locally as the “Art Hotel of Santa Fe.” Artwork throughout the property has been hand selected by the hotel’s own curator and is available for purchase at the artist’s studio price. A variety of events and activities throughout the year draw on La Posada de Santa Fe’s history as a summer arts school long before the area became famous for its museums and galleries.
