The Bottger Mansion of Old Town, our Albuquerque bed and breakfast, celebrates its 100th birthday and over a hundred years of Albuquerque history.  Named for people prominent in Albuquerque’s history, each of the seven guest rooms features photographs, memorabilia and biographies, ranging from the coming of the railroad to Route 66.


What is included when you stay with us?

  • the best full breakfast in Albuquerque, with fresh fruit, delicious coffee, a hot entrée and much more
  • free parking, wireless internet, snacks and beverages
  • microfiber robes, cable TV, private baths, telephones and air conditioning in every room
  • knowledgeable innkeepers to guide you to the best restaurants, activities and attractions
  • entertainment provided by finches, hummingbirds and other birds in our flower-filled courtyard

 

This historic house is shaded by massive 100-year old trees and is just steps away from shops, excellent restaurants, galleries, museums and parks. Nearby attractions include the Botanic Garden, Rio Grande Zoo, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, University of New Mexico, Route 66, and much more, at the base of the magnificent Sandia Mountains.

Albuquerque is a great home base for easy day trips a little farther away--Santa Fe, Acoma Pueblo, the Salinas National Monument, the Turquoise Trail, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, and the lava tubes at El Malpais near Grants.

 

Hot air balloon rides, magnificent golf courses, horseback riding, hiking, skiing, concerts and festivals--so much to do and so little time!  Bring your camera for a week and you’ll leave your heart forever.

 

Have you decided what to do for that someone special this year? We take care of everything when you select our February Lovers' Special.  We will make sure there is a vase of a dozen red roses in your room as well as making your dinner reservation at High Noon Restuarant. Take a leisurely stroll through Old Town to the restaurant where a fabulous five-course dinner, created exclusively for Bottger Mansion lovers by Chef Don, awaits you.  For more information go to our specials page.
