El Vado

Top choice in Albuquerque


The white adobe walls of this revamped Route 66 motor court darn near glow as the sun rises, when you might just catch hot-air balloons rising almost overhead. Anchored by a central pool and flanked by a taproom and a handful of small eateries, this place – built in 1937 – exudes a hip-but-welcoming vibe. Mid-century modern decor.
