Celestial Glamping Expeditions at The Inn of the Five Graces

The Inn of the Five Graces is set to host five unique celestial glamping experiences in 2025. Guests can opt for the “Mysteries of Chaco Canyon Expedition,” allowing access to one of New Mexico’s underappreciated historic locations, or the “Taos Perseid Meteor Shower Expedition,” which promises a stylish view of the annual meteor shower. Both packages come with overnight accommodations at the inn, along with enjoyable perks such as film screenings, evening cocktails, and enlightening lectures.

Nestled in Santa Fe, a city renowned for its iconic adobe buildings and vibrant arts community, The Inn of the Five Graces stands out as a destination of its own. This eclectic hotel has been recognized as the top establishment in Travel + Leisure‘s World’s Best Awards in Santa Fe for two consecutive years, and it is reviving one of its most sought-after experiences: the celestial glamping expeditions.

Strategically located in the oldest neighborhood in the United States, Barrio de Analco, the hotel boasts 26 uniquely styled rooms decorated with artifacts from the Silk Route. Among its various offerings, the celestial glamping experiences have gained significant popularity, providing multiple opportunities in 2025 to engage with the night sky.

The “Mysteries of Chaco Canyon Expedition” grants guests access to Chaco Canyon National Historical Park, often referred to as the “Machu Picchu of North America.” This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense significance for the Pueblo peoples. Participants can enjoy celestial-themed activities like stargazing on nights with a new moon, with the September event coinciding with the fall equinox, and partake in guided sunrise hikes highlighting the stunning New Mexican landscapes, including Fajada Butte and the San Juan Basin.

Alternatively, guests may choose the “Taos Perseid Meteor Shower Expedition.” This experience coincides with the annual Perseid meteor shower. After pitching camp at The Inn’s private base, participants will discover how to bake traditional horno bread, delve into the history of the UNESCO World Heritage site Taos Pueblo, and participate in guided outdoor adventures including paddling and horseback riding through the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument—all while observing the stunning meteor shower through expert-led stargazing sessions.

Regardless of the expedition chosen, participants can savor multi-course meals paired with local New Mexican wines, along with luxurious glamping accommodations that feature spacious tents, comfortable memory foam mattresses, and vibrant Southwestern textiles.

“These journeys invite travelers to not only witness the Southwest’s stunning landscapes but to connect with its timeless spirit in a way that transforms the mind and heart,” noted Angelisa Murray, CEO & Founder of Heritage Inspirations, a partner in these experiences. She expressed that these adventures create an “unforgettable tapestry of discovery.”

Through these immersive experiences, the Inn aims to deepen guests’ connections with the distinctive landscapes, culture, and rich history that New Mexico is renowned for.

“Astrotourism has become one of the most popular trends in travel for 2025,” remarked Kevin Geanides, managing director of the Inn of the Five Graces. He emphasized that learning about the region’s history and culture through celestial events in these iconic locations offers one of the most memorable experiences for visitors to the Southwest.
