Hacienda Doña Andrea de Santa Fe is a 13,000-square-foot historic estate set in the mountains outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, at 78 Vista del Oro in Los Cerrillos. The property was designed around antique doors from a 1570 Puebla, Mexico hacienda, with roof tiles salvaged from the original Santa Fe train station and fixtures commissioned in San Miguel de Allende — details that give the estate a depth of character that carries through every room. The hacienda's nine en-suite bedrooms are spread across three wings and accommodate up to 18 overnight guests, making it a natural fit for intimate weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and creative getaways. Twenty-four-foot ceilings beneath seven arches anchor the main gathering space, which also features a wood-burning fireplace and baby grand piano.

Long before the restaurant opened, the building hosted notable guests including Georgia O'Keeffe, John Wayne, and Errol Flynn.
