El Rey Court is the Hippest Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico
El Rey Court is arguably the hippest hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally built in 1946 as the Motor Inn, alongside the original Route 66, it was later renovated and rebranded as the El Rey Court in 2018. The updates kept much of the vintage charm and added mid-century accents, fireplaces, and contemporary art throughout the 5-acre campus, creating uniquely stylized spaces. Each room is completely different, allowing for an element of surprise every time you stay with them. The hotel’s customer service is as involved or hands-off as you would like them to be.

Upscale Dining in a Robe at 10,000 Waves in Santa Fe, New Mexico - (Food, Wine, Travel Magazine, Winter 2020 )
Our travels to Izanami at Ten Thousand Waves were dreamy, and a bucket list item fulfilled. Ten Thousand Waves Spa and Resort has been a Santa Fe travel destination since 1981. Inspired by Japanese mountain hot spring resorts, and located 1,000 feet above the city (closest hotel to the Santa Fe ski area), it really feels like a world away. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were enamored by the serene energy, the architecture, the stillness, the junipers and piñon filled mountains that surrounded us.
