Albuquerque is a tourist hotspot in the American city of New Mexico. It sees thousands of visitors each day, belonging to different national and economic backgrounds. This calls for several different kinds of hotels to cater to this large tourism industry – right from the cheapest budget hotels to the swank five star hotels. Most of the five star hotels of Albuquerque are located in the downtown area. These include some of the biggest hotel chains of the world. The downtown area is the core of the city, which is also close to the major tourist attractions of Albuquerque such as the Convention Center, the Albuquerque Biological State Park and the Hispanic Culture Center. Some of the better five star hotels of Albuquerque are connected to some happening tourist spots such as the Convention Center via the Underground Concourse. The five star hotels of Albuquerque boast of some of the best and the biggest facilities in the hotel business. Apart from the conventional facilities like air conditioning, television, laundry services, room services and room bars, they are also equipped with other luxuries such as an indoor and/or outdoor pool, gymnasiums, etc. For the business class of visitors, there are conference rooms provided. Rates of the five star hotels of Albuquerque are on par with the rates across America. One night at one of these hotels could cost somewhere between $120 and could go on up to $300. The location of the hotel is very much important in deciding the rates. Downtown five star hotels in Albuquerque are much more expensive than the uptown ones. Also, there are seasonal fluctuations in the prices. The rates of all Albuquerque hotels – even the five star ones – tend to go up in September when the New Mexico State Fairgrounds holds a seventeen day festival. This festival attracts large crowds. In a similar fashion, it is difficult to get hotels during the balloon festivals for which Albuquerque is famous. |
