Gorgeous and hip, this downtown boutique is housed in a historic building with a luxe vibe and eco-friendly focus. Featuring a rooftop bar and a stunning lobby, the Andaluz evokes the feel of a Spanish resort, yet also honors its own history as a New Mexico landmark with extensive Southwestern art throughout. Rooms feature exquisite bedding and high-tech touches, but the hotel lacks the range of amenities expected from upscale brands.

The gorgeous, historic Hotel Parq Central may technically be mid-range, but it looks and feels more like an upscale property. The public spaces and guest rooms feature elegant decor and the free breakfast includes gourmet selections. But this stylish 74-room boutique lacks some of the amenities of a larger, higher-end hotel. There's a rooftop bar with great city views and an extensive collection of railway relics, but a tiny fitness center and no pool (just an outdoor Jacuzzi).

This business-friendly hotel provides almost everything expected from a mid-range chain. The 24-hour cafe, spacious rooms with huge flat-screen TVs, and free shuttle, Wi-Fi, and breakfast all equal good value. However, this property is lacking some amenities -- such as a Jacuzzi, and microwaves in every room -- which are found at the nearby Holiday Inn Express Albuquerque Airport.

Towering above the downtown district, this 20-story chain hotel features clean, contemporary rooms and a convenient location close to shops, restaurants, and the convention center. Downtown's high-rises can be glimpsed from the outdoor pool on the third floor, while guest rooms on the upper levels offer good views of the city and surrounding mountains. Rooms include high-tech amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, but Wi-Fi will cost you.

This 295-room Sheraton high-rise is located in the trendy Uptown district, close to shopping and restaurants. The hotel has contemporary interiors: There's a hip lobby lounge, a spacious business center with big computer monitors, and clean rooms with white bedding and dark wood furniture. Some of the east-facing rooms have excellent views of the mountains. The circular indoor pool and Jacuzzi are appealing, though the Albuquerque Marriott's indoor/outdoor pool is larger and nicer. The daily fee for Wi-Fi and minor wear and tear in the rooms are downsides.

The business- and family-friendly Staybridge Suites Albuquerque North nicely fits into the expectations of a mid-range chain hotel, with a few extra perks. The free Wi-Fi, spacious and clean rooms, guest laundry, free breakfast, and large kitchenettes are all nice amenities -- especially for extended stays. The fitness center is open 24 hours, and there's a nice picnic and BBQ grilling area out back. The market is handy for grabbing snacks, and the free evening appetizers (three days a week) is a nice addition. However, the nearby Holiday Inn Express Suites offers nearly the same amenities and nicer rooms at a lower price point.

Straddling I-25, the Nativo Lodge is a centrally located, mid-range hotel with an impressive display of unique Native American art in the lobby . Out back, there’s a heated, half-indoor/half-outdoor pool and a teepee containing a hookah lounge. The lack of high-tech features like iPod docks and flat-screen TVs in the guest rooms means that nearby chain hotels such as the Staybridge Suites offer more amenities -- if less cultural interest -- at the same price point.

The Homewood Suites, one of several mid-range chain hotels near the airport, has attractive decor throughout and a number of freebies, including a hot breakfast, self-parking, and shuttle service. Rooms have kitchenettes with fridges, microwaves, stovetops, and sinks, and many rooms have separate living rooms -- all of which helps explain this property's slightly higher price point. There's also an outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi, open seasonally. The nearby Holiday Inn Express Suites and Hyatt Place Albuquerque Airport both have contemporary decor and (usually) lower rates, but neither have rooms with full kitchenettes, and the Hyatt Place lacks a Jacuzzi.

The Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza features classic Santa Fe style and a great location that’s a short walk from the Plaza and other downtown landmarks. This lovely historic hotel has roots that date back to 1625, and the lobby looks the part with heavy wood ceiling beams and a kiva fireplace. Despite its long history, the upper-middle-range Hilton offers modern amenities such as a spacious outdoor pool, fitness center, restaurant/bar, event space, concierge, and free Wi-Fi. But parking is expensive, and rates don’t include breakfast. Rooms are stylish and spacious, if a bit dark, with mini-fridges and coffeemakers. Huge Casitas also are available. Compare rates with Hotel St. Francis, another handsome and historic hotel that’s also a short walk from the plaza.

The 79-room upscale boutique, housed in a historic building two blocks from the Santa Fe Plaza, features simple, mission-style decor inspired by the principles of St. Francis of Assisi. The elegant, minimalist rooms have original wood floors, sturdy wood furniture made by local artisans, and a color scheme of gray and white -- but, as in many historic buildings, they're small. The hotel features a tasting room for New Mexico wines, as well as a cocktail bar with a lovely outdoor patio. But there’s no spa, pool, or hot tub, and guests will have to pay a daily fee for parking. If a pool is a priority, consider the nearby Inn and Spa at Loretto.
