Our Story

Dive Into the Legacy of Hotel Andaluz

Steeped in history and architectural beauty, Hotel Andaluz stands as one of the most treasured historic hotels in Albuquerque. Built in 1939 by Conrad Hilton, this iconic hotel was the first high-rise in New Mexico and a symbol of elegance, innovation, and cultural inspiration.

The Origin of the Name "Andaluz"

The name Andaluz—short for Andalucian—pays homage to the vibrant culture, architecture, and passion of Spain’s Andalucia region, which serves as the inspiration behind the hotel’s décor and design.

The hotel's distinctive four interlocking A’s logo is a tribute to classic Andalucian tilework, a motif found throughout the property. Guests can spot the emblem gracefully woven into the traditional Andalucian archways that frame many of the hotel's public spaces, reflecting its heritage of elegance and artistry.
