SANTE FE
INN OF THE FIVE GRACES
In one of Santa Fe’s most historic neighborhoods, designers Ira and Sylvia Seret, transformed a neglected cluster of traditional adobe buildings into a unique luxury hotel – Five Graces. The Serets, internationally known importers of exotic antiques, rugs, textiles and architectural elements - opened Serets’ 1001 Nights in 1996, a 24-suite magical retreat, brimming with the most exquisite of their treasures. In 2002 the Inn was renamed to honor its sensuous atmosphere along with its many Afghan and Tibetan artifacts. The name “Five Graces” refers to an Eastern concept — the five graces of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. The Inn of the Five Graces is New Mexico's top hotel and voted one of the finest hotels in the United States. Member of Relais & Châteaux - Tripadvisor named Five Graces the #1 Small Hotel in the US and Travel and Leisure readers voted Five Graces the #1 City Hotel in the US and World's Best Awards in 2026.
