Bottger Mansion Bed and Breakfast

Built in 1910, the Bottger Mansion of Old Town, our Albuquerque bed and breakfast, is in historic Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. This historic house is shaded by massive 100-year old trees and is just steps away from shops, excellent restaurants, galleries, museums and parks. Nearby attractions include the Botanic Garden, Rio Grande Zoo, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, University of New Mexico, Route 66, and much more, at the base of the magnificent Sandia Mountains.

Albuquerque is a great home base for easy day trips a little farther away--Santa Fe, Acoma Pueblo, the Salinas National Monument, the Turquoise Trail, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, and the lava tubes at El Malpais near Grants. Hot air balloon rides, magnificent golf courses, horseback riding, hiking, skiing, concerts and festivals--so much to do and so little time! Bring your camera for a week and you'll leave your heart forever.

One of our guests recently commented that returning to our Albuquerque inn "felt like coming home." Come relax in our Victorian oasis in the midst of New Mexico's vibrant culture and distinctive architecture. Our years of experience in gourmet cooking provide you with delicious full breakfasts and mouth-watering afternoon goodies. Be sure to look for our signature Bottger Mansion Chocolate Chip Cookies on the snack sideboard in the afternoon! You can enjoy them and other treats with your afternoon tea or lemonade in the elegant parlor, the casual dining room, or outside in the courtyard shade of tall elm trees.

We invite you to make the Bottger Mansion bed and breakfast your home away from home. From here you can walk to Old Town Plaza--the original heart of Albuquerque--and savor the distinctive flavor of some of the city's finest restaurants, art galleries and shops. When you need rest or refreshment from your activities in Old Town, your exquisitely decorated accommodations are just a few steps away, inviting you to nap under the gentle swish of ceiling fans or lose yourself in the solitude of a good book. Whatever gives you enjoyment and refreshment at your own home is what we desire to provide for you here.

Start your morning with the best breakfast in Albuquerque. Great coffee or tea, juice, and a lovely dish of seasonal fresh fruit will take the edge off your appetite. The main course may be something sweet and luscious, like our Blueberry French Toast Casserole, or a savory dish like Southwest Crustless Quiche that melts in your mouth, with four cheeses and mild green chile. Our entrees are accompanied by a variety of breakfast meats and sausages and perhaps scones or biscuits. With our perfect weather on most days from late spring through early fall, we have breakfast outside with the hummingbirds, mourning doves and goldfinches.
