Fodor's Expert Review Böttger Mansion of Old Town

A National Register property built in 1912 in the American Foursquare style, Böttger Mansion offers thoughtfully refurbished rooms incorporating fine woodwork and other period details like a claw-foot tub, a lovely mural by the original owner's grandson, or a pressed-tin ceiling. The rooms are calm and classic, and each is dedicated to a person of particular import to Albuquerque history, from Erna Fergusson to Clyde Tingley; they all have the freshest linens and terry robes. A grassy courtyard provides an instant escape from the Old Town crowds. The two-course breakfast, which may be taken outdoors, might include stuffed French toast or a cheese soufflé. Resident cats on site (though they are allowed in public spaces only) means no guest pets.
