Built in the late 1940s, Hilton Albuquerque is one of the first high-rise hotels constructed by hotel magnate and New Mexico native Conrad Hilton. The Pueblo architecture is most evident on the ground floor, where massive adobe walls support heavy vigas and arched doorways lead to quaint bars and fine restaurants. The rooms are decorated in the rich textures and colors of the southwest and have plenty of space for working or lounging. Most of the rooms have balconies.
