Location

Albuquerque is a city of contrast, where rustic adobe homes and churches offset gleaming highrise office buildings. Spanning both high desert mesas and a verdant river valley, Albuquerque is bounded by the pueblo lands of Native Americans and populated by people of diverse cultures and heritage.

Climate

Low humidity and warm temperatures make Albuquerque a four-season destination. Normal temperatures for July range from lows of 64ºF/18C to highs of 91oF/33C.

Albuquerque's altitude is 5,000 feet above sea level. It is served by most major airlines and the hotel is just a short taxi ride away from Albuquerque's international airport.
