Housing

Each participant is responsible to find, book and pay for their own housing.

Book by May 10 at the latest
We recommend that you book your stay as soon as possible as Santa Fe is busy in the summer months. Please be sure to book your accommodations by May 10 so that we can plan transportation with plenty of time. We will send out a survey in late May about SFI Shuttle Service (see below)

Courtyard by Marriot
We have a room block for 12 at the Courtyard by Marriott located at 3347 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe. The room block is for single rooms (king bed) at a cost of $125.83 per night (taxes included). The block is limited to 12 single rooms because it includes a seat on their shuttle so that you can easily get to GSSS each morning and return each evening. The Courtyard by Marriott is located in fashionable Midtown, Santa Fe close to Meow Wolf, Second Street Brewery Rufina Tap Room, and other venues. It is 5 miles from downtown but has shuttle service.

Transportation / SFI Shuttle

Rental Car - It will be easiest to get around Santa Fe is you have a car. There is plenty of parking at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) if you choose to drive.

Rideshare - Santa Fe no longer as a taxicab service. Rideshare apps like Lyft and Uber are the best way to get a ride around town.

Courtyard by Marriot - For those staying at the Marriott, a 12-person hotel shuttle will transport you from the hotel to SFI each day and back again. Inquire about this service when you check in. (more info above)

SFI Shuttle Service - For those who need it, we will provide SFI Shuttle Service from downtown Santa Fe to the Santa Fe Institute Campus each day that the program meets (Mon-Fri). Shuttles will depart at 8:30am from the Water & Sandoval St. Be there by 8:15 to board the shuttle. If you are on foot, be sure to book accommodations within walking distance.

SFI Shuttle Planning - we ask that everyone book their hotel by May 10. After that date, we will send out a survey to figure out where everyone is staying and who needs SFI Shuttle Service. We will make any necessary adjustments after the survey is completed.

THANKS EVERYONE!

With a population of over 65,000 people, it is well known for its art, culture, dining, and year-round outdoor activities. June/July weather is usually hot and sunny during the day (90F/32C) and cool in the evening (55F/13C). There are often thundershowers in the afternoon. Dress is casual. Be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat with you. Hiking boots are also recommended.
