When you're looking for a business destination that's more majestic than metropolitan, Santa Fe simply annihilates the competition. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say the capital of New Mexico is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Bold words to be sure, so to back them up we'll need to hear from two regular visitors. Deb Tremonti-Hazelton, Southwest sales director for Donald J. Pliner, frequently heads to Santa Fe from her home in Rockwell, Texas. Robert Hoelscher, president of Flemming Tours and chairman of the National Tour Association, makes the trip from Cedar City, Utah.
Where Do You Stay? For a city with so much personality, you have to go local with your lodgings. Hoelscher's hotel of choice for work trips is the Santa Fe Sage Inn. Tremonti-Hazelton favors the Inn on the Alameda, as well as the Inn of the Five Graces.
Where Do You Go Out to Eat? For an elegant dinner, Tremonti-Hazelton talks up the Compound Restaurant. She's also quite partial to La Casa Sena, Geronimo, Ristra, La Boca and Café Pasqual's.
How Do You Spend a Free Day? If you're up for exploring historic Spanish villages, Hoelscher recommends a trip along the High Road, a scenic mountain route connecting Santa Fe and Taos. Make sure you hit the towns of Truchas, Chimayo and Cordova. Staying within city limits? Santa Fe is a great place for taking a stroll. Hoelscher suggests stops at the State Capitol Building, the Palace of the Governors and the Museum of International Folk Art.
