Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe Named New Mexico's Top Resort

Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe was named the number one hotel and resort in both Santa Fe and New Mexico overall by U.S. News for 2026, earned Condé Nast Traveler's Triple Crown in June 2026, and appeared on Travel and Leisure's 2026 T+L 500. That trio of recognitions places the resort firmly at the top of a distinctive high-desert market.

Access to the resort improved as well, with new direct American Airlines flights connecting Los Angeles to Santa Fe daily from October 2025 and a seasonal Chicago route over the winter. The summer of 2026 brought a spa expansion with Natura Bissé treatments and exclusive guest access to the Santa Fe Opera's 69th season, including the American premiere of Tobias Picker's Lili Elbe.

Set in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just outside town, the resort pairs adobe-style casitas with expansive high-desert views. The 2026 recognition confirms its standing as the definitive luxury base for exploring Santa Fe.
