The Hotel: The recent $1.5 million renovation of this beloved Hilton Santa Fe, New Mexico downtown hotel has restored the ambiance that existed over 375 years ago, when the Ortiz Hacienda occupied the entire city block. A lovely New Mexico courtyard oasis with poolside fireplace and hot tub await each guest. Bask in the comfort of this hotel with its trademark ultra-comfortable beds, flat-screen TV’s, ergonomic chairs, and a modern work desk. Guests will also enjoy room service, wireless internet access, a fitness center, valet and concierge. All rooms feature the Hilton Serenity Bed and Amenity Collections. All rooms offer coffee & tea service, ironing board, robes, hair dryer and make up mirror. The Hilton of Santa Fe hotel is set on historic grounds, located just two blocks from the famous downtown Santa Fe Plaza. Explore the city’s unique collection of winding avenues and one-way roads on foot. Browse nearly 100 different galleries, featuring paintings, sculptures, and Native American crafts. Savor eclectic New Mexico style restaurants – each unique in flavor and ambience, humming with the rhythms of Spanish guitar, flamenco, blues and jazz. You will be just 16 miles from the ski basin, minutes from legendary golf courses, and steps away from the thriving culture of the downtown area.
