This beautifully renovated historic hotel originally opened in 1965 as the Downtowner Motor Inn and has since been transformed into a modern southwestern-inspired neighborhood hub. The hotel boasts 137 rooms featuring comfortable beds outfitted with Bellino Fine Linens, eye-catching floral upholstered headboards, premium Grown Alchemist bath amenities, Marshall Bluetooth speakers, and plush robes designed to provide guests with a cozy and memorable stay. Guests checking in at ARRIVE Albuquerque have the opportunity to enjoy the unique ambiance of the DWTNR Cocktail Bar & Lounge, which serves a blend of high/low cuisine and east/west cocktail offerings. This popular venue presents Pan Asian-American classics alongside traditional Americana comfort food in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The hotel's seasonal poolside paradise also offers refreshing tropical drinks and light bites, creating an inviting space for guests to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
