Discovering Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm.
There is no mistaking the complete sense of calm that is Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Before you step out of your car, a long drive takes you into the property, passing alpacas and sheep on your left and rows upon rows of lavender on your right. The sights (Sandia Mountains), smells (lavender galore) and sounds (simply quiet) evoke ease and a satisfying stillness.
The rich history of Los Poblanos is behind everything that the inn has to offer. It’s the culture and care of the families who have owned Los Poblanos, past and present, that inspire the intentionality of the structure, comfort of the rooms and integrity of the food.
Attention to detail is integrated into every guest experience. With 45 guest rooms, Los Poblanos provides an excellent mix of intimate spaces with beautiful views. Classic New Mexican style is reflected in the antique southwest furnishings, carved ceiling beams, wrought iron features and original artwork. Organic bedding can be found through- out, and some rooms have wood- and gas-burning replaces. All are stocked with lavender amenities — a small sample of what can be purchased in the charming Farm Shop.
Lavender soaps and salves are not the only products sold at the Farm Shop, either: Shoppers delight in the carefully curated and locally sourced items as well as pastries from the bakery. ere are salts and herb blends also available, not to mention artisan cheeses and ice cream to satisfy that afternoon craving.
Campo, the “ eld to fork” restaurant on the property, is casual fine dining. Organic offerings from the property’s own farm, accompanied by other local artisans and farmers, assure visitors an outstanding dining experience. Seating arrangements in the bar and beyond provide comfortable areas to savor the seasonal menu and linger a bit longer than usual, and great wines and craft cocktails also help make the bar a nice stop along the way.
The Hacienda Spa offers a variety of treatments in a beautiful setting, and is not something to miss. Wellness classes, cultural programming, culinary events and guided farm tours are just a few examples of activities Los Poblanos offers.
Whether it’s enjoying a glass of wine by the chiminea or strolling along through the Greely Garden, Los Poblanos is likely to prove just the place for renewal and retreat.
