WELCOME to Santa Fe, "City Different" in New Mexico, "Land of Enchantment" -- the United States' most fascinating historic location!      Santa Fe, which means "Holy Faith," was founded in 1607 (the second oldest town in the U.S.) and joined the United States of America in 1912. The full name of our city, the location of New Mexico's state capitol, is "La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis," or "The Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi."

We have an average of 300 sunny days a year and great skiing in the winter. We have lots of rooms for guests (4,500), fabulous Northern New Mexico cuisine, art galleries, shops, and a world-famous opera.
