Hotel Albuquerque
££
Old Town
First up, my pick for best overall Albuquerque lodging: Hotel Albuquerque. This luxury accommodation boasts on-site gourmet dining courtesy of Garduño’s and a stylish landmark-turned-bar and nightclub, Casa Esencia.
But wait, there’s more. Each room features a cable TV, Wi-Fi and coffee maker, while most also have a private balcony with glowing city sweeps. Swim a few laps in the outdoor pool, relax in the hot tub or spin away in the fitness centre – the choice is yours.
With so many fantastic amenities on offer, you may never want to leave. However, you’re in bustling Old Town, where century-old adobe houses, enchilada spots and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History await.
Los Poblanos Hotel & Inn
Los Poblanos Hotel & Inn might be a little way out of the centre of ABQ, but the restaurant here is one of the best in the city. So it’s worth the effort.
Tucked away on a farm, this hotel is all about luxury and sustainability. Rooms are simple yet classy – with details dating back to its 1930s dairy farm history – while the restaurant plates up organic dishes that champion farm to fork.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Albuquerque Historic Old Town
Old Town
£
I stayed at the Holiday Inn on a recent trip to ABQ. And, I’ll be honest with you – it was an OK hotel, though definitely a bit tired and dated.
That said, rooms are pretty spacious and offer decent enough value for money. But one of the main reasons I liked staying here was that The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is just a 10 minutes’ walk away.
Casa de Suenos
£
Old Town
Casa de Suenos knows how to turn up the Southwestern charm with its eccentric blend of vintage and western-style decor. It’s one of the cheaper hotels in Albuquerque, but don’t let that fool you.
The rooms are quaint and neat, with cute, colourful bedding and free Wi-Fi. Wake up to a gourmet breakfast featuring ABQ’s signature green chile burritos with eggs and bacon — don’t worry, vegans, they’ve got your back with some fresh fruit and toast.
Bask in the sunroom, complete with a fireplace, or unwind in the hot tub. Then, why not explore nearby attractions like the Albuquerque Museum of Art or Natural History Museum?
Hotel Chaco
£££
Old Town
Check-in at one of the most famous Old Town hotels and be swept away with rustic luxury. Hotel Chaco will impress you with its elegant and glamorous spaces: think rooftop loungers with city views and a resort-like pool area.
The rooms are simplistic yet chic, with spacious bathrooms for much-needed self-pampering moments. Enjoy access to a flat-screen TV, a lush garden, room service and Wi-Fi.
Wake up to a fabulous à la carte or American breakfast, then work up a sweat in the fitness area to start your day. After exploring nearby attractions like the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, you’ll be able to return to the on-site restaurant and bar to end your day.
