Best Family Hotels in New Mexico

Camp Hyatt entertains kids ages 3 to 12 with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The hotel's family activities are called Srai Wi, which means "my children" in the language of the Tamayame. Among the offerings are classes in adobe brick making, pottery making, corn husk wreath making, jewelry making and painting.

The Inn of Anasazi offers Rosewood Hotels’ Rose Buds for Children program, featuring an array of complimentary amenities for families including baby monitors, cribs and linens, childproofing safety kits, child-sized bathrobes, changing tables, bottle warmers, bed rails and baby bath tubs.

The Four Seasons Rancho Encantado welcomes children with a complimentary amenity, child-sized bathrobes and children’s toiletries, and loaner games, books and toys. For infants, the resort provides complimentary childproofing kits, cribs, baby bathtubs, high chairs and strollers.

Kids tours and scavenger hunts can be booked through the concierge.

Hotel Andaluz Albuquerque, Curio Collection by Hilton blends traditional and modern quite well. You'll find that the hotel's color palette reflects Southwest decor and that the courtyard arches are reminiscent of adobe-style architecture. But the accommodations exude a much more contemporary feel; funky designs and modern art fill the spacious guest rooms and public areas. Meanwhile, travelers relish MÁS, the in-house restaurant, and the party-hard atmosphere of Ibiza, the rooftop bar and club. (However, if you're not much of a night owl, recent guests recommend a room on one of the lower floors to avoid the noise from Ibiza's after-hours revelry.) All visitors can agree on one thing though, they say the hotel's staff is warm and inviting. What's more, because it's a Hilton property, Hotel Andaluz allows members of the Hilton Honors program to use or earn points here.

At this hotel, guests have access to adjoining rooms and cribs.

You should have no problem spending several days at the Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder, located about 14 miles north of central Santa Fe, New Mexico. You can start your day off with breakfast at the Towa Clubhouse Grill or the in-house Starbucks before teeing off on one of three nine-hole golf courses. Then, spend the afternoon at the spa or by the pool before rounding out the evening with Southwestern cuisine at Red Sage and a date with Lady Luck at the full-fledged casino. Guests describe Buffalo Thunder's rooms as beautiful thanks to their neutral tones, wooden furnishings and Southwestern design elements. Rooms also come equipped with flat-screen TVs and high-speed internet access (for an additional fee). What's more, travelers were impressed with the staff members, who they said were friendly and helpful. The only downside, according to some guests, was that the smoky atmosphere in the casino carried into some of the accommodations. Because this resort is a member of the Hilton Hotels Group, Honors rewards club members can offset their nightly expenses by using points.

Children 5 and older are welcome at the hotel.

To truly live it up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, recent guests recommend a stay at the Eldorado. Travelers are quick to note the impressive upgrades to the rooms, which garner praise for their authentic Southwestern decor, handcrafted furnishings and (in some cases) private verandas with adobe fireplaces. Guests were pleased with the new decor and artwork in the accommodations as well. But what really sets this Santa Fe hotel apart is its staff, which make visitors want to return time and again. Guests say that every employee made them feel like a VIP. When you're not chatting with the concierge, you can take a load off at the Nidah Spa, which offers treatments using local ingredients. Or, soak up the sun by the hotel's rooftop pool. Should you start to feel a little cabin-feverish, take advantage of Eldorado's location: Standing over downtown Santa Fe, the Eldorado places you within walking distance of the Plaza, the Palace of the Governors and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Upon your return, grab a drink at the AGAVE Lounge or order yourself a dry-aged rib-eye at the Old House Restaurant.

This resort has a pool and a library with loaner books and magazines, checkers and a billiards table. However, no other kids amenities are offered on-site.
