“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.”
