Inn and Spa at Loretto

This romantic and venerated inn in the heart of downtown Santa Fe is next to the old Loretto chapel, home of the Miraculous Staircase, a perplexing spiral staircase with no visible means of support. The chapel makes the Inn a popular wedding venue, so expect to see happy brides coming and going all year round. The property is also famously lit up during the winter by farolitos, New Mexico’s local Christmas lights made of candles and sand-filled paper bags—perfect for a romantic Christmas picture.
