Christmas in Santa Fe - Eldorado Hotel Offers Special Holiday Packages

Wednesday November 14, 2007
Eldorado Hotel & Spa invites travelers to head southwest and celebrate the upcoming season and all the festivities that go along with its Winter Wonderland package. Starting at $199 per night, double occupancy, guests will enjoy daily breakfast in the hotel’s Eldorado Court or via room service in the comfort of their deluxe guestroom. Since not all travelers can get away in the midst of the holiday season, this package is valid now through January 31, 2008.

Holidays in “The City Different”, Santa Fe’s nickname, are especially delightful as glowing farolitos (traditional New Mexican Christmas decorations) line the adobe-designed buildings and streets illuminating the region. Visitors can experience the magic of the season Santa Fe-style by taking part in cultural traditions and special events. With a bevy of posh boutiques and unique art galleries, all located within minutes of Eldorado Hotel & Spa, travelers will also be able to tackle their holiday shopping. More About the Eldorado.
