Located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Inn of The Five Graces is a boutique Relais & Chateaux resort that is nestled in the oldest neighborhood in the country, the historic Barrio de Analco. The 26 suites and guest rooms are built into historic homes dating back to the 1600s, made with traditional adobe mud plaster featuring sacred and tribal art decor, and like the rest of the property, feature design details that have been curated by the owners and are inspired by their travels from around the world.

The resort’s name is a reflection of its exotic, luxurious, and sensuous atmosphere and honors the Eastern belief that people are graced with five ways to enjoy the pleasures of the world: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Its restaurants draw from Santa Fe’s rich culinary traditions and serve authentic New Mexican and Cajun-inspired dishes, in addition to craft cocktails at its own speakeasy. Live music, tequila and mezcal experiences are offered, and guests enjoy access to a variety of local activities that showcase the area’s rich culture, heritage, and landscapes.

We chatted with Sharif Seret, Owner of The Inn of The Five Graces, to learn more about special amenities and treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Our treatments are rooted in the philosophies and rituals of the Silk Road and are designed to nourish each of the five senses.

As a departure from typical minimally-designed spa environments, guests love being immersed in a world of color and texture that awakens their imagination, along with being surrounded by artisan interior design that includes lavish mosaics, elaborate ceiling panels, peaceful statues and signature pieces from Asia and the Middle East.

The original centuries-old adobe walls, evocative scents, dancing fountains, and whispering chimes round out the uniqueness of this highly sought-after Santa Fe experience. 

Key Features: In addition to offering a variety of high-end and sustainable skincare products, The Spa of The Five Graces features a seasonal soaking pool with Roman mosaic panels and intricate wood carvings on its deck area.

The spa also recently announced a redesigned Relaxation Pavilion and new experiences, such as a Tibetan Mindfulness Meditation session through our unique partnership with the renowned nearby meditation center Thubten Norbu Ling. 

Insider’s Tip: We recommend allowing at least 14 days to secure an appointment as the Spa is highly sought after by guests and locals. 

Bonus: All guests are offered a special glass of sparkling wine or their favorite cocktail to relax before being pampered at the hands of our highly specialized treatment providers.

Spa Snacks: We offer a selection of cold-pressed juices and shots from Verde, as well as a special mix of nuts and granola.

Splurge Treatment: One of the most popular “splurge” treatments is the Five Graces Signature Massage, which combines long, fluid strokes in tandem with light to moderate pressure and a soothing foot scrub that leaves guests feeling rested and renewed.

Insider’s Favorite: The 90-minute Five Graces Signature Facial goes beyond your average facial treatment. This treatment is an all-encompassing sensory experience from beginning to end. Our unique double-exfoliation process, combined with custom masks and gentle massage with aromatic oils, is the perfect way to begin or end your stay at the Inn. 

Most Unique Treatment: Our 75-minute Himalayan Salt Stone treatment is an exquisitely relaxing treatment. The stones' warmth allows for deeper muscle relaxation while trace minerals and negative ions replenish the body, elevate mood, and neutralize toxins. Guests can also add treatments like a mud detox or a therapeutic cupping massage. The Spa also offers Evolutionary Astrology Readings, not typically found in most spas. 

Featured Products: We use products by Coola and Flamingo Estate, as well as products by European-based luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader and a sustainably-driven line by [comfort zone].
