The Spa of The Five Graces

The Spa of The Five Graces is the wellness wing of the Five Graces hotel in downtown Santa Fe, a short walk from the plaza. It's a compact, upscale day spa built around a soaking pool, a private steam room, a meditation and shrine room, and five treatment rooms including one for couples. A fitness side includes a cardio gym, strength studio and yoga studio, plus a sun and moon deck and a firepit lounge for lingering afterward.

The menu runs about 25 treatments, from the signature Five Graces massage ($210) to more esoteric offerings like Reiki, sound healing with Himalayan bowls and tuning forks, and clairvoyant energy readings. Most of these specialty sessions run $180 for 60 minutes or $250 for 90 minutes, with couples versions available for some, and advance booking of at least 72 hours required for the energy-work sessions.

Day passes are available, so this isn't limited to hotel guests, though everything runs by reservation rather than walk-in. The spa welcomes families and couples, and operates on a consistent 8am-to-5pm schedule seven days a week. Given the five treatment rooms and single soaking pool, it functions more as an intimate, appointment-driven spa than a large bathing facility — worth booking ahead, and a good fit for travelers who want a quiet, personalized session paired with a soak and some gym or yoga time rather than a sprawling wet-area experience.
