La Posada de Albuquerque: Albuquerque's Hotel History   Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Downtown Albuquerque is home to one of the first Hilton hotels. La Posada de Albuquerque was built in 1939 by New Mexico native Conrad Hilton who honeymooned here with bride Zsa Zsa Gabor), and is on the National Register of Historic Places. La Posada still retains much of its original flavor, with hand painted murals and a tiled fountain gracing the two-story lobby, topped by a carved beam ceiling. The 10-story hotel is also home to the Jane Butel School of Southwestern Cooking, recognized by Bon Appetite Magazine as one of the best vacation cooking schools in the world.
