Santa Fe's 12 Coziest Winter Retreats
It's a common misconception among those who've never been that Santa Fe winters are warm and mild. In fact, as the City Different is at an elevation of about 7,000 feet, winters are chilly here, albeit with plenty of sunshine during the day. Santa Fe has a terrific ski area, and as you stroll through the city in winter, you'll be greeted with the heady aroma of pinon logs burning in fireplaces. One of the joys of visiting during the cooler months is staying at a B&B or hotel that's designed to keep you warm and snug on those cold winter nights: think kiva-style fireplaces, soft blankets and duvets with Southwestern patterns, thick adobe walls, and plush leather armchairs. These are some of the best romantic hotels in the region for a cozy, romantic wintertime getaway.
The Madeleine
Why it made the list
You'll find working fireplaces in most of the guest rooms of this grand Queen Anne Victorian inn whose beds are also outfitted with luxuriant high-quality linens. There's also a spa on the ground floor, where you can warm up after a day of hiking or skiing with an Indo-Asian hot stone massage.
