Best Wedding Hotels in Albuquerque

Located about 25 miles north of Albuquerque in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa receives praise for its tranquil ambiance and variety of activities. Guests can try horseback riding or golfing at the on-site course, while the on-site Tamaya Mist Spa & Salon and three heated pools (plus a whirlpool) make for a more relaxing afternoon. Guest rooms feature a traditional pueblo design and showcase local artwork, plus flat-screen TVs, iHome docks and coffee makers. Previous guests highly recommend reserving a room with views of the Sandia Mountains, though these accommodations sometimes cost extra. And when dinnertime rolls around, visitors say that the Southwestern fare – like green chile mac and cheese and pan seared duck breast – served at Corn Maiden is spot-on. But for many guests, it was the excellent customer service that inspired a repeat visit. And because this resort falls under the Hyatt name, World of Hyatt members can earn and redeem points here.

Resting about 12 miles south of downtown Albuquerque in New Mexico's sprawling desert, Isleta Resort & Casino offers an extensive array of amenities to suit a variety of vacation agendas. This property boasts a Las Vegas-style gaming floor of slots and card tables, an on-site spa with 10 treatment rooms and 27 holes of golf. Many guests lament the particularly smoky air in the casino (and throughout the resort), but they applaud the expansive gaming options and the attentive service. When you need a break for food, grab a seat in one of the numerous on-site dining venues, ranging from the casual Chill Ice Cream & Coffee Bar to the more upscale Embers Steakhouse. Later, retreat to one of the resort's guest rooms, which impress guests with their cleanliness and overall comfort. Rooms feature luxury linens and flat-screen TVs, and some come with balconies overlooking the desert.

Hotel Andaluz 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.
