This is Nativo Lodge, a boutique hotel located in central Albuquerque just off Interstate 25 and within view of the beautiful Sandia Mountains.

From the exterior, you can tell this will be a hotel unlike any other you’ve stayed in. The bright colors and geometric designs not only entice fun-loving travelers but also art lovers. Why?

The most intriguing part of this hotel are the rooms. The hotel's artist rooms are a unique vision of contemporary art by Indigenous artists...

...crafted to look like a peaceful retreat with flower motifs...

...or a colorful reminder of life, resilience, and our connection to our surroundings.

The walls of these rooms are covered in murals and hanging art of various styles that challenges the perception of Indigenous art, showing that it can possess modernist tones…

...or even ring true to more "traditional" artwork.

The hotel began with commissioning a few rooms to be designed by Indigenous artists of various tribes and the number has slowly grown to 24!

While you're staying, don't forget to wander around the hotel! The rest of it is quite lovely. You can enjoy a drink at the bar...

...or a dip in their indoor/outdoor pool. Doesn't that look relaxing?

Nativo Lodge is located at 6000 Pan American Freeway NE in Albuquerque. You can find more details about the hotel and book a room by visiting their website, nativolodge.com.
