In Albuquerque, 84-Year Old Historic Doors Re-Open at Hotel Parq Central
The carefully restored doors at Hotel Parq Central will open on September 29 from the site of the original 1926 Santa Fe Hospital. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Hotel Parq Central contains old-world details like the building’s original clay tiles, 1926-era windows, and a Grand Staircase, in addition to complementary modern touches like wi-fi, iPod docks, and LCD flat-panel TVs. The guestrooms and public spaces are located in four separate buildings, all intertwined by delightful hidden gardens. Here, guests can enjoy Albuquerque’s 310 days of sun amidst Catmint, Irises, Mexican Evening Primrose, and Indian Hawthorn. The hotel’s rooftop “Apothecary Lounge” is another perk, with great mountain views, and, in a cheeky nod to the building’s past, decoupaged walls of vintage-era medicinal labels. Bar highlights also include an operating room lamp and a table formed from a 1940’s coffin carrier.
Located along the famed Route 66, Hotel Parq Central adds a dose of design spice to this wonderfully storied byway.
