The Neighborhood
The Sanctuary Suite is located on a nice quiet street in a walking neighborhood. It is around the corner to Tiguex Park and the museums that surround the park. Both Old Town Plaza and the surrounding neighborhood have restaurants, microbreweries, bakeries, and shops and galleries offering unique New Mexican shopping experiences. This neighborhood is also close to the Albuquerque Biological Park-- the botanical gardens, the zoo, and the aquarium–and the walking and bicycle paths along Rio Grande River.
