“The Great American Summer is ultimately about celebrating culture and connection,” said Kevin Geanides, managing director, The Inn of The Five Graces. “Few places in America embody layers of history quite like Santa Fe, where Indigenous heritage, Spanish influence, Route 66 nostalgia, and contemporary creativity all intersect. These experiences allow guests to engage with that history in a deeply personal and memorable way.”

Sep 23, 2026Move to the Music and Rhythm of Destinations Around the World
The true rhythm of a country is felt away from the main tourist traps. Galleries, museums and historic sites provide an overview, but you need to go elsewhere to experience the living, beating heart of a place. For instance, immerse yourself in the humid turmoil of a Durban underground club, or get to grips with the formal group dances of the Scottish Highlands, or become part of the foot-stomping camaraderie of a Galway pub, or ride the waves of neon-lit energy in a Seoul basement nightclub.
