Hacienda Nicholas

This inn, a few blocks from the plaza, has a delightful Southwest hacienda feel. Rooms surround a sunny patio; my favorite is the bright Cottonwood, with a serene feel created by the sunshine-colored walls, wood floors, and a kiva fireplace. Even more luxurious, the Sunflower has French doors, plenty of space, and also a fireplace. The rooms off the sitting room in the house are more modest but also have a warm "Southwest meets Provence" feel. All beds are comfortable and baths range from small (with showers only) to larger (with tub/showers). A full breakfast -- including such delicacies as homemade granola and red-and-green chile breakfast burritos -- and afternoon wine and cheese are served in the lovely Great Room or on the patio, both with fireplaces. Service in this inn is excellent. Under the same ownership, Alexander's Inn (tel. 888/321-5123 or 505/986-1431; www.alexanders-inn.com) has long been one of the city's finest B&Bs. In recent years, the inn itself has closed, but the same managers rent four casitas in the older district of Santa Fe. Each is a fully equipped home, with a kitchen, including fridge, range, and microwave. All have unique Southwestern furnishings and plenty of charm.
