Tale of Cultural Room Design Located at the end of The Santa Fe Trail, nestled perfectly into its historical surroundings near the Plaza, The Inn and Spa at Loretto flows seamlessly into the gentle New Mexico landscape. Built in 1975 next to the famous Loretto Chapel, on the grounds where the Academy of Our Lady of Light (Loretto) once stood, the Inn embodies the culture of the region through its design, landscaping, cuisines and personal service to reflect the true spirit and history of Santa Fe. All guest rooms boast luxurious new bedding and draperies that draw the eye with their geometric shapes, simple lines and vibrant colors. Spacious leather chairs and newly upholstered armchairs invite guests to rest, while the plush bed provides refuge for the weary. Artisan wall decor and historic artwork hint at the celebrated history of the hotel, the neighboring Loretto Chapel and greater Santa Fe.
