Eldorado Hotel & Spa

Located a block away from Santa Fe's historic Plaza, the Eldorado Hotel & Spa offers luxury accommodations combining Native American design principles and contemporary amenities. Traditional woven fabrics, Southwest art and architecture, and in some of the 219 rooms, wood-burning kiva fireplaces, contribute a decided sense of place to the pampering environs.

The Eldorado, boasting Santa Fe's largest amount of space for business meetings and corporate events, features a range of conference rooms, patios, and ballrooms. The catering team serves up to 1,500 participants, though smaller groups may prefer the Old House Restaurant, a Zagat and Wine Spectator darling. A must-try between-meeting highlight: a visit to the Nidah Spa, where treatments incorporate New Mexico's native plants and herbs, including desert clay, blue corn, aloe, sage, and juniper.

Posted 21 Dec, 2011 by Doug Libby If the holiday season has you feeling a bit stressed, the Eldorado Hotel & Spa has the perfect antidote, starting with a deliciously traditional Christmas Eve dinner at the Old House and ending with a New Year’s Eve celebration that will ring in 2012 to a Latin beat. Here are four ways to make your holidays merry, memorable and magical in Santa Fe’s most cherished four-diamond hotel:

DINE OUT. You’ve done the shopping, wrapping and decorating, but do you really want to do the dishes? Especially when you can have a Dickensian Christmas Eve dinner of Herb-Roasted Black Angus Prime Rib of Beef Au Jus with Yorkshire Pudding, a sumptuous Christmas Champagne brunch with everything from Belgian Waffles to old-fashioned Yule Logs, or an indulgent four-course Christmas night or New Year’s Eve dinner. The warmth and elegance of the Old House restaurant provides the ideal setting for family and friends to come together over decadent food and delicious wine.

Christmas Eve Dinner, 5:30-10 p.m. $69 pp; $99 with wine pairings.
Christmas Champagne Brunch, 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Adults $45; Ages 6-14; $35; Age 5 and under $25.
Christmas Dinner, 3-9 p.m. $69 pp; $99 pp with wine pairings.
New Year’s Eve Dinner, 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. seatings. $95 pp; $135 with wine pairings.
Call (505) 995-4530 for reservations.

DANCE. The ball is about to drop on 2012, and you’ve got a choice to make: watch Dick Clark and the freezing folks on Times Square – OR get out and shake your booty to the muy caliente Latin rhythms of Nosotros at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa’s Grand New Year’s Eve Celebration. Doesn’t this feel like the right New Year’s Eve to get down and party? Fuel your salsa dancing with great drinks and a buffet of delectable goodies like Kobe Beef Green Chile Sliders, and then be rewarded for staying up past your bedtime with a satisfying late-night breakfast at 12:30 a.m.

New Year’s Eve Grand Celebration, 8:30 p.m.-1:30 a.m. Bracelets sold at the Old House, $45 in advance; $60 at the door.

DE-STRESS. When you’re finished wrapping presents, how about giving yourself a wrap at the Eldorado Hotel’s Nidah Spa? After all, you’ve been good all year and deserve the gift of serious relaxation! ‘Tis the season to give your defenses a boost with the “Immune Supercharger Massage and Wrap,” which uses a blend of eucalyptus, rosemary, lemon peel, cinnamon and cloves to fight toxins and stress. Or try the “Native Herb Bundle Signature Massage,” a multi-sensory experience that combines penetrating warmth, deep tissue massage, exfoliation and aromatherapy. Then float off to a fireside seat in the new Agave Lounge for a yummy “Hot Apple Pie” (the kind you drink). Remember, you deserve it.

Nidah Spa, (505) 955-4535.

DON’T DRIVE. Have you been naughty or nice this year? (Or perhaps not naughty enough?) Here’s an idea: instead of driving home after making merry this holiday season, surprise your honey and take the elevator up to one of the Eldorado Hotel & Spa’s newly renovated, spacious guest rooms. You’ll find a warm and inviting Southwestern décor, captivating views of downtown Santa Fe and the Sangre de Cristos, plush terrycloth robes, a supremely comfortable bed, and perhaps even a cozy, wood-burning kiva fireplace where you can pretend you’re Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Holiday room packages start at $199.
