Albuquerque is one of the most culturally diverse cities in North America, brimming with an eclectic art scene. With Route 66 winding through the heart of the city, it's the perfect place to cruise in style. In 2026, the Mother Road celebrates its centennial. With three hotels located just off Route 66, you'll find the perfect retreat along the way.

It’s common to see hot air balloons dotting the skies on any given day, which is why New Mexico is widely regarded as the “Ballooning Capital of the World.” Every October, thousands of visitors make their way to Balloon Fiesta Park to witness hundreds of balloons in all shapes and sizes ascending over Albuquerque.

Very few destinations can rival the diversity of hiking options offered by a city that sits a mile high and is framed by a mountain range that reaches over 10,000 ft. From the cottonwood-lined banks of the Rio Grande to the alpine ridge of the Sandia Mountains, hiking in Albuquerque is a one-of-a-kind experience fit for any skill level.
