We come here regularly for Saturday farmer's market, to see a movie at Violet Crown - which also shows indie films regularly for you film buffs, or grab a drink at As Above So Below (our personal favorite cocktail lounge in Santa Fe). There's a variety of markets, shops, restaurants, breweries, and plenty of events in the summertime! Also, if you're a Game of Throne fan, George R.R. Martin, a Santa Fe Resident, just opened a new medieval themed bar in this area!
Japanese architecture and culture meets hotel, spa, and restaurant. We absolutely love it here. Reserve a private hot tub at the spa, book a massage, or have some delicious Izakaya style Japanese-fusion food. We come here multiple times a year for special occasions. One of our personal favorite restaurants in town is here at Izanami! Another perk? Gorgeous views from the base of the mountain.
Hyde Memorial State Park is just past Ten Thousand Waves Spa going up into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and provides access to tons of beautiful hiking trails and campgrounds! Just maybe bring some bear spray with you if you decide to go off trail.
