Location
In Uptown, within walking distance of restaurants and shopping
The Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown sits in the Uptown shopping district, within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and businesses. The hotel is also very close to I-40, making it a quick drive to most of Albuquerque’s attractions, such as the Balloon Fiesta Park and Old Town.Sitting along the Rio Grande at an elevation of 5,312 feet, Albuquerque occupies a high-desert environment. The city was founded in 1706 by the Spanish as a colonial outpost in the New World. Today, Albuquerque is home to more than 530,000 people of more than 70 different ethnicities, including Native Americans, Latinos, and Anglos, making it the largest city in New Mexico. Albuquerque retains connections to the past and its culture in the architecture, artwork, and cuisine found throughout the city.Less known to some, Albuquerque is also a center of high-tech industry and research. The Sandia National Laboratory, General Electric, and Kirtland Air Force Base all call the city home. It’s also the ballooning capital of the world. Albuquerque hosts the International Balloon Fiesta each October, an event that is arguably one of the most photographed in the world. Local hot air balloon companies offer rides to visitors year round.As a four-season city with 300 sunny days a year, Albuquerque has an active community of golfers, hikers, skiers, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and fishermen. The Sandia Mountains to the east provide a high-altitude respite from the summer heat and many miles of forested trails, and a winter playground featuring Sandia Peak Ski Area. Any visit to Albuquerque is incomplete without a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, the longest tram in the world, ascending 2.7 miles from the outskirts of the city to the Sandia Mountains at 10,378 feet.Whatever you do in the outdoors here, be sure to stay well-hydrated -- mild temperatures can be deceiving, and the high elevation can take its toll even on the fittest adventurers.- 10-minute walk to Uptown Albuquerque shops
Rooms
Rooms have contemporary decor, and some have great mountain views -- but there are minor maintenance issues

The decor is chain-like, with little local flavor, but still perfectly pleasant. There are minor maintenance issues, including some scuff marks on the walls and cracked electrical outlets.- Juliette balconies (just a railing); sliding glass doors only open a few inches.
