Spirits take many shapes in the historic town of Santa Fe, N.M SANTA FE, N.M. – – Spirits take many shapes in the historic town of Santa Fe, N.M. Whether seeking the guidance of a spiritual healer, an understanding of the mystical Native American lifestyle or just curious about the spectral settlers who still linger the streets, Santa Fe’s spiritual offerings top the list of the region’s many attractions. Now the Inn and Spa at Loretto, managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, is embracing these spiritual encounters with its Spirits of Santa Fe package.

Garcez. Package rates begin at $299 per night for double occupancy and include valet parking. The Spirits of Santa Fe offer is available through Dec. 31, 2008.  Some restrictions apply.

While Santa Fe is the second oldest city in the United States (established in 1607), its rich historical roots can be traced back nearly 1,700 years to Pueblo Native American villages. From soulful Native American beginnings to the tragic and turbulent Spanish and Mexican occupants and pioneer settlers, Santa Fe’s residents have left an indelible mark on the city. Today, residents and guests thrive off the palpable spiritual energy created by the blending of metaphysical philosophies, new world faiths and Native American religions.
