Fodor's Expert Review Sarabande B&B
5637 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87107, USA Fodor's Choice
While the name of this soothing, Modernist compound is inherited from the prior owners, the current setup blends a respect for its Southwestern roots with a refreshing commitment to a high-end midcentury modern aesthetic (a rarity in these parts). The connected units in the five-room North Valley hideaway each have a separate entrance; a short stroll across the lovely courtyard brings you to breakfast in the main house. A multilane lap pool cools in summer, and shaded walkways meander about to private patio spaces. Some rooms have fireplaces, most have brick or Saltillo-tiled floors; skylights, vigas, and a harmonious balance of well-chosen wall prints and textiles complete the scene.
