Hotel Andaluz Albuquerque, Curio Collection By Hilton

Great location, walking distance from concert venue that brought me to Albuquerque. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance as well! Bed was super comfy. Robes provided in the room were also really great. Walking into the room with the TV slide show personalized to you was also a really fun touch. All staff at the front and valet attendants were super helpful and very friendly. Staff at the bar was also really nice. I'll be staying here again next time I'm in Albuquerque.

Lobby, fountain in the middle, decor and charm. Elevators add to the charm factor.

Charming ambiance

Le style hispanique de l’hôtel , le hall d’entrée est splendide avec les escaliers, la hauteur de plafond, les alcôves…et les œuvres d’art. Le restaurant est incroyable et le personnel très serviable.

Mooi hotel met een heel goed (duur) restaurant erbij voor a la carte ontbijt of diner

I was assigned a very small guest room that is clearly in need of renovation. While the Assistant General Manager handled my check-in and was friendly, his comments about recent renovations seemed to apply only to the lobby—because the guest rooms appear unchanged from what they have been for at least the past decade.

The room itself showed significant wear: damaged lamp shades, missing electrical outlets, stained walls, a beat-up bathtub, and filthy bathroom vent. Overall, the condition felt tired and neglected, not boutique or curated in any way. This is simply not what I expect from a Curio Collection hotel, especially when redeeming points for what should feel like a “reward stay.”

The on-site restaurant was another disappointment. The steak was overcooked, dry, and overpriced for the quality delivered. The dining experience was mediocre at best and a step backward from when Mark Quinones was the chef—there was a noticeable decline in both execution and value.

I was in Albuquerque for a conference at the Convention Center, which is a very short walk from the hotel. There was much to like about the hotel, but what stood out for me were the following: Brian and Bryan at the front desk; the free access to a health club with an excellent swimming pool right across the street; and a free airport bus that stops just one block from the hotel.

We stayed two nights at the hotel and it was a very beautiful hotel and the staff was excellent. We tried the restaurant the first night on the recommendation of the person that checked us in. We were not impressed with the restaurant and the service. My wife and I are both in our 60s and when we ordered we were both asked for IDs. My wife did not have hers and the waitress said it was a requirement, so I went up to our room to get the id and then after a delay we got our drinks. While we were sitting there we saw multiple people being seated and ordering drinks without being asked for ID. When we ordered a second drink it took over 15 minutes to get a drink and my wife ordered a martini with sugar on the rim, the same as the first drink. The first drink had sugar around the entire rim as is normal, but the second drink only had the sugar on 1/4 of the rim. The food was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary and I would ask in the future about what an item really is because they were what was in the menu, but in a nontypical presentation. Mine was supposed to be multiple enchiladas and they were stacked on each other rather than side by side and a smaller size than typical. We then were asked about desert and the came out with a unique presentation of the dessert menu which was nice, but it then took 15 minutes for the waitress to come take our order. I expected more. I provided feedback through my Hilton app and was told that the manager would be contacting me, but I never heard anything. I would recommend that when booking you choose a higher level floor. The Bar was directly under our room on the third floor and was quite loud in our room on the weekend night .

Close to old Town and the Rio grande.

I had booked a 2 night stay by my job as a college recruiter. I had read this hotel was haunted which I had asked about when I checked in. The hotel worker said she didn't know what I was talking about. I checked out the 4th floor where I read there were some apparitions. What is weird is they have a room skipped and material blocking the light from the bottom of the door - I read there is a room that is haunted on this floor. Well, maybe it was in my head, but I ended up sleeping with the lights on and TV on all night thinking about ghosts because that in itself is odd (I've stated at an insane amount of hotels and have yet to see that). The next day I come back from work, shut the door. I end up sitting on the bed, chatting with my boyfriend about how I could not sleep all night the night before and how silly I was. I had been sitting for about 5 minutes when I heard something thud in the bathroom. It was my hair straighter I had used about 4 hours prior before I left for work that morning. I left it on the counter with the cord wrapped around. Ghost or the hair straighter randomly falling 4 hours later? That is for you to decide. But I ended up with another sleepless night with lights on and the TV on. Nice hotel, no complaints....but the hair straightener....

Although the historic building and lobby are stunning the rooms are in a terrible state of disrepair and yet the hotel charges a nightly rate that would reflect a premium property. I had stayed here before it was owned by Hilton after it was originally opened as Andaluz and loved it. Yet years of inattention really show and leave a sour taste. It's also the only hotel I've stayed that preemptively provides earplugs, and boy do you need them. Noisy is an understatement. I mentioned the issues with the room quality and the staffs response was an acknowledgment saying they just refurbished the lobby and they know the rooms are old. Yet no offer of resolution nor apology for the state of the room. At $300+ per night the condition is simply unacceptable in my opinion.

Downtown Albuquerque is a happening place, but not in a good way. Hundreds of souped up vehicles meet up close to Andaluz and roar around until 4 a.m.
The hotel itself is clean, beds comfy, staff personable. As long time Hilton clients, it was fun to stay in Conrad Hilton's first hotel.

Lovely historic hotel in downtown. Nicely updated, specially the lobby. Restaurant is great. Bar even better. Room was nice but never cleaned over a two night stay. Otherwise the stay went well.

Staff was great - I was on the 8th floor and the room was very quiet (I was there for the Duke's City marathon) and was able to get a good night's sleep.

The hotel was upmarket and in a central location. Room was very comfortable.

Location. Beautiful historic hotel. Music in the Lobby. Shuttle to airport. Walking distance from Amtrak.
