 SANTA FE, NM  (May 19, 2014) - La Posada de Santa Fe, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, today became New Mexico's first Luxury Collection hotel, joining the brand’s prestigious ensemble of 86 world-renowned luxury hotels and resorts, with a celebration inspired by Santa Fe's unique southwestern cultural influences.

 "Each Luxury Collection hotel is a singular reflection of its place in the world and its place in history, and La Posada de Santa Fe perfectly represents those values, having played a major role in the evolution of Santa Fe as an art community and a tourist destination," said Joseph Smith, founder, 1754 Properties, which owns the hotel.

"When Abraham Staab built his magnificent mansion here in 1882, he did so with the intention of welcoming friends and family to this remote Southwestern outpost that he and his wife, Julia, so adored. 

“The Staabs established a tradition of elegant hospitality that continues to guide and inspire our operations to this very day. 

“We're certain that by joining The Luxury Collection, La Posada de Santa Fe will be able to reach a broader audience of sophisticated travelers who will not only appreciate the authentic and original experiences that make this hotel and destination so special, but also the resort's lush, six acre campus, luxurious spa and award-winning restaurant and bar."

 "We're excited for La Posada to keep their authentic identity while gaining attention as part of this exclusive brand," said Monique Jacobson, New Mexico's Cabinet Secretary of Tourism. "This type of partnership brings new awareness to New Mexico as an upscale travel destination and ultimately benefits the entire state."
