"La Posada de Santa Fe is a historic resort where Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant cardholders can use their free night award."
"I liked that the desert-chic rooms include enclosed yards and well-manicured grounds with waste bag stations, pets are greeted with Santa Fe–themed treats (like a chili pepper chew toy), and your dog can join you at the colorful outdoor patio of The Shed; a short drive takes you to the 138-acre Frank S. Ortiz Dog Park for off-leash exploring — just be sure to check your pet for ticks afterward." - Nina Ruggiero Nina Ruggiero Travel + Leisure Senior Editorial Director Nina Ruggiero oversees T+L's award-winning travel content across digital platforms.

"In town, enjoy a quiet glass of wine in front of the fireplace at La Posada."

"Before there were art galleries in Santa Fe , there was La Posada. Built as a private home in the 1880s by wealthy local merchant Abraham Staab for his beloved wife, Julia, the elegant pueblo-meets-Spanish-style complex expanded in the 1930s, when new owners added adobe casitas to the six acres of lush, high-desert gardens—and then invited artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Will Shuster to stay and work. When La Posada became a hotel shortly thereafter, the walls were already lined with works by the many artists who continued to pass through. Even now, the lively lounge—a see-and-be-seen spot for artists of all kinds—and the high-ceilinged rooms—with their kiva fireplaces and traditional viga ceilings—are adorned with works by some of the foremost contemporary American artists. All works are available to buy, too, for guests who want to take home a piece of their trip. Or, you can make like most guests, and just keep returning to this refined retreat that has offered respite from the world for more than a century."
