Travel | Santa Fe, New Mexico – Part III: Places to Stay

July 13, 2015 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 13 Comments

Now that I have you thirsty for Santa Fe, New Mexico with The Margarita Crawl in Part I and filled your belly with all kinds of Eats in Part II, let’s talk about where to stay in Part III.

St Francis Hotel_Lobby | Santa Fe

For my Santa Fe visit, I stayed at Hotel St. Francis, the oldest Santa Fe historic hotel.

Hotel St. Francis – The hotel is reminiscent of an early Franciscan missionary. The rooms are on the smaller side, but still comfortable. Where this hotel really shines is in the staff. They were gracious and very accomodating – especially helpful when you have a baby in tow. The next best thing and my favorite part was the hotel’s Secreto Bar. It not only offers some of the best cocktails in town, but some of my favorite to date. 210 Don Gaspar Ave., +1 505-983–5700

La Fonda | Santa Fe

La Fonda – “The original inn at the end of the Santa Fe trail”. There is a lot of history here. Its been open since 1610. Beyond its rich history you’ll be surrounded by famous folk-art from artist Ernest Martinez whose work can be found all over the hotel from the windows to some of the other fixtures around it. The hotel also features southwestern murals and paintings that were commissioned in the 1920s and 30s. This is where to stay if you want to be steeped in art history. The view from the top doesn’t hurt either, so don’t forget to head up to the rooftop for drinks at the Bell Tower.  100 East San Francisco Street, +1 505-982-5511

La Posada | Santa Fe

La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa – Admittedly, this was my favorite hotel of Santa Fe for its mix of European and Pueblo style details. Beyond that, I love the story that in 1882 Abraham Staab built a three-story brick mansion in a French Second Empire-style for his wife, Julia, who loved to entertain Santa Fe’s society in the grand residence. Legend has it that Mrs. Staab loved her home so much that she has never left it. Needless to say, there are ghost tours surrounding her alleged spirit and reportings that some have even met her. Today The Staab House stands as the bar for the resort and spa. 330 East Palace Avenue +1 505-986-0000

Inn of Loretto | Santa Fe

Inn & Spa at Loretto – This luxury hotel in Santa Fe is the state’s most photographed building. It is a re-creation of the Taos Pueblo, a national historic landmark that represents the traditional Pueblo architecture. The rooms are among the largest of the downtown hotels and are dressed with a Native American-style decor. Outside of your room you’ll also find a luxurious spa that offers Japanese and some Southwestern-inspired treatments and services. Once you are done being pampered, you definitely don’t want to miss their restaurant Luminaria that includes indoor and outdoor seating.   211 Old Santa Fe Trail, +1 505-988-5531

Inn of the Govenors | Santa Fe

Inn of the Governors -This hotel is only two blocks from the historic plaza. And much like its Del Charro restaurant, the hotel continues the theme of being most reasonably priced without compromise to quality and value. A few perks include: complimentary tea-and-sherry social each afternoon, an extensive breakfast buffet along with free Wi-Fi and a year-around heated pool. I didn’t get a chance to really explore this property, but if the staff at the restaurant is a reflection of the hotel staff, then you can expect all your needs to be met with a friendly smile.. 101 W. Alameda St, +1 505-982-4333

No matter where you stay in Santa Fe, you’ll be surrounded by the city’s vibrant history and art scene. And if anyone has any other suggestions for places to stay in Santa Fe, please share with the rest of us the comment section.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
