Hacienda Dona Andrea de Santa Fe

Location. Tucked up high into the Ortiz mountainside between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, the Hacienda Dona Andrea de Santa Fe is located in Cerrillos, N.M. Originally a mining town, Cerrillos was once considered the capitol of New Mexico. Now it is a picturesque reminder of the Old West, complete with dirt streets and sun-drenched adobe buildings. The J.W. Eaves Movie Ranch is just 10 miles from the inn, and features a full-scale replica of a western town that has been used in over 250 movies and commercials, including Easy Rider, Lonesome Dove and Young Guns II.
Hotel Features. The inn is located five miles from the town center, high on a hillside with views extending more than 50 miles. From the moment guests enter through the hand-wrought iron garden gates, they will feel they have entered a world that whispers of old Santa Fe. The hacienda has colorful hand-plastered walls, Spanish and Mexican tiles, handwoven textiles and breathtaking mountain views. Guests are welcome to relax by the fountain in the upper and lower level living areas. A patio overlooks the high-desert landscape, and gardens add another level of serenity to the ambience of the property. Outdoor weddings and receptions can be arranged. Complimentary wine and appetizers are available in the late afternoon. Coffee and tea service begins at 6:30 a.m. and continues all day. A seasonal breakfast is served each morning.

Guestrooms. Each guestroom has a unique décor. All rooms boast fireplaces, balconies with access to a shared patio or private patios, bathrobes and indulgent toiletries. Wine and cheese baskets, floral arrangements, and DVD and CD players can be arranged by contacting the office a few days before check-in.

Expert Tip. Canyon Road is a narrow road about thirty miles from the hacienda. This popular strip was once home to many artists, and now features a number of studios, galleries, restaurants and shops.
