Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm

Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm Review

Designed by acclaimed architect John Gaw Meem, this rambling, historic inn lies outside of Albuquerque's sprawl, on 25 acres of organic farm fields, lavender plantings, and gardens in Los Ranchos on the town's north side, near the Rio Grande and just across the street from Anderson Valley Vineyards—with all the greenery and the quiet pace of life here, you'd never know you're in the desert, or in the middle of one of the Southwest's largest cities. You reach the inn via a spectacular tree-lined lane. Every accommodation has a private entrance and contains folk paintings, painted viga ceilings, and high-quality linens. Rooms also contain bath products made on-site, including lavender soap and oils; all have kiva fireplaces, too. The property also includes the 15,000-square-foot La Quinta Cultural Center, a conference space available for meetings that contains a dramatic fresco by Peter Hurd. There's also a library with beautiful artwork.
