Albuquerque, New Mexico is a destination where exploration is the rule and you need a more than comfortable launching pad to get the most out of your hikes. These five hotels and resorts offer a unique twist on an upscale stay experience.
1. Hotel Andalusia
The Andaluz Hotel was built in 1939 and has a historic designation. In the middle of the city center, the Andaluz is both a unique hotel and a springboard to all directions. The cozy rooms offer a glimpse of an upscale 1930s hotel. The lobby has a large bar and lounge with weekend entertainment. The area has adjacent private kasbahs where you can be in the heart of the action, but have an intimate conversation. One of the most unique reception areas and lobbies ever created. MAS Restaurant focuses on New Mexican and Spanish themed cuisine, while IBIZA Lounge on the second floor offers outdoor seating with city views and an indoor lounge.
2. Sandia Resort & Casino
Just on the north end of town, the Sandia Resort & Casino has it all if you’re staying on the north end of town. The massive exterior gives no indication of the unique and spacious interior rooms and touches. The best room choice are the suites facing Sandia Peak, as the sunrises and sunsets play with the light. The Green Reed spa offers many treatments and even more atmosphere because it has its own building. Dining and libations include eight restaurants and five bars, with the Bien Shur rooftop offering regular entertainment and stunning views of fine dining restaurants. One of the best golf courses in New Mexico completes the offering.
3. Hotel Chaco
If you want to be on the edge of the old town, the Chaco Hotel is the best choice. The luxurious, well-appointed interior is best described as New Mexico modern. Wellness and fitness are a step above at Chaco with a spacious fitness area, Chaco Spa and yoga equipment. The best mega-appointed room option is the Deluxe King Suite, at 650 square feet, it has everything you need and more with a specialty reading chair, executive workspace and shower plus than oversized.

4. Los Poblanos Farm and Hotel
This boutique hotel has only 45 rooms and has kept it exclusive as guests want to experience the farm, natural habit and relax with less activity. The limited rooms feature very thoughtful design elements and luxurious amenities, such as premium linens and bathrobes from Coyuchi Organic. And of course, as lavender is the main organic crop, there are plenty of their handcrafted lavender products. Designed in 1932 and completed shortly thereafter, Los Poblanos has retained the original charm and vision while adapting modern conveniences throughout the property.
5. Isleta Resort & Casino
Better than cozy, with the added appeal of a small concert venue, Isleta is a great home base in the southeast corner of Albuquerque. Although the rooms are well appointed, the difference here is the good hospitality and customer service. The pool extends from indoors to outdoors, so whatever the weather, a comfortable swim awaits you. And, without leaving the property, they have a much better than average golf course. The casino is adjacent to the resort and as such noise does not interfere with the guest experience at the resort.
