Come take in the world’s largest marketplace and festival of folk art, and call La Posada de Santa Fe your home away from home when you do!

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market (IFAM) celebrates the oft-underappreciated artisans of the globe: those who carry on traditional crafts and “whose creative skills convey their community’s authentic cultural identity, rather than an individual or idiosyncratic artistic identity,” as the IFAM’s website defines folk art.

The purpose of the event is to give these folk artists a spotlight and some financial support in their vibrant and perseverant endeavors, a major collective industry in the developing world but often bulldozed over by the grinding forces of the global economy. Read More

Careful not to slip!

Immune Boost Salt Glow: Mix 6 Tbsp. salt, 6 drops of Eucalyptus Oil, 4 drops of Peppermint Oil, 2 Tbsp. of Olive or Safflower Oil, scrub your way to health and rinse off. An aid to prevent or reduce the effects of colds and flu and associated aches and pains.

Daily Immune Boost: Use the following essential oils on the body or use products containing them: Tea Tree, Eucalyptus and Lemon Grass. Apply this blend to your body after bathing and take some time for yourself to relax and give your body time to regenerate.

Night Time Warmer:  Place a warmed herbal pack under the covers before getting into bed for instant warmth and relaxation. Also assists circulation and giving immune system a boost.

Tea anytime: Create warmth from the inside out with a cup of Immune Boost Tea – this is useful during the winter months to reduce congestion and increase circulation.

Blend all in 1 cup heated water / let steep and add agave or honey to sweeten – Enjoy!

Swim, Soak and Steam

Our Santa Fe Hotel’s Artful History

Sunday, March 22nd, 2015

For over a hundred years, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa has been one of the most historic Santa Fe hotels. As the city grows and changes, so has La Posada. Our entwined histories have made us Santa Fe’s signature resort.

In 1607, the history of Santa Fe began when New Mexico’s governor, Don Pedro de Peralta, founded the city near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. He originally named the city, “La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís,” or The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi. In 1610, Santa Fe became New Mexico’s capital, making it the oldest state capital in the United States.

Immigrants flocked to the West and New Mexico in the 19th century. Along with them came Abraham Staab and his wife, Julia. In 1882, he built a beautiful three-story brick mansion. The residence was constructed in the French Second Empire-style, and it was decorated with lavish European furnishings.

Later on, in the 1930s, R.H. and Eulalia Nason became the estate’s owners, and they transformed the property into the marquee hotel in Santa Fe.  They constructed a series of Pueblo Revival-style adobe casitas around the existing mansion. They dubbed their new Santa Fe hotel “La Posada,” which means “inn” or “resting place” in Spanish. As La Posada spearheaded the Pueblo Revival style, the city of Santa Fe followed suit. In the 1920s and 1930s, architects and artists developed a unique regional identity by drawing inspiration from the local Native American culture. Pueblo style architecture imitates the design of traditional adobe construction, but with more modern materials, such as brick or concrete.

In the following years, our Santa Fe resort became a popular place to be for the arts community.  An annual summer arts school drew many guests, who were leaders in the Santa Fe arts movement. La Posada truly became “The Art Hotel of Santa Fe.”

Our rich heritage makes La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa Santa Fe’s most historic resort.  Nowadays, we’ve renovated the estate with a relaxing spa and a flavorful restaurants. Our southwestern ambiance means that there is no better resort in Santa Fe to absorb the rich
environment of the West.
