History: The Hotel St. Francis, just a block off the Plaza, is the oldest hotel in Santa Fe. Recently renovated, The Hotel St. Francis is on the National Register of Historical Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America. Recent renovation has given it a monastic theme. The staircase leading from the lobby is austere but beautiful. The rosary focuses on the religious history and heritage of New Mexico.

ReplyDeleteVery elegant!
I really need to visit this beautiful city. Inviting staircase, well composed.
ReplyDeleteWe usually stay at La Fonda, although last trip we stayed at the inn and Spa at Loretto Chapel. Both are wonderful and their locations so near the Plaza are excellent. Based on your recommendation, I guess we should look into the St. Francis next trip.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity. And the light at the top of the staircase is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteand such beautiful curves at the bottom! I want to walk up those stairs!
ReplyDeleteI can just picture a bride in a beautiful gown walking down that staircase.
ReplyDeleteI second the comments above--wonderful composition, light, simplicity.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kate. Have you had an opportunity to have breakfast on their small walled patio in the back? Thanks for reminding me of this special place, and yes, I can imagine it was hard to leave....
