Local Spots

At the Suburban Studios you will find yourself in the heart of Albuquerque’s Uptown district a major commercial and retail hub very walkable for shopping and dining. This great city boasts two of the premier shopping centers, Coronado Center and ABQ Uptown, both within a 10-15 minute walk. Coronado is a large full-service traditional indoor mall with major department stores while ABQ Uptown is an upscale open-air lifestyle center with such brands as Apple and Pottery Barn. It’s hard to believe anywhere could better this hotel for avid shoppers.

There’s also a proliferation of different restaurants that can all conveniently be gotten to by foot. Within just a 15-minute radius, you would have the convenience of The Cheesecake Factory, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, and be able to tap into any kind of local favorite or different international fare. So, every night of the week you can be out for dinner anywhere and never even have to get in the car.

On a scale of walkability, which also has to do with practical needs and entertainment, this is considered very good. Trader Joe’s and several other grocery stores are within a very short walking distance, making it very convenient for keeping your in-room kitchenette well stocked. It is also equipped with multi-screen cinema for entertainment. The hotel is situated within the modern commercial district of the city but is not walking distance to either the historic Old Town of Albuquerque or the cultural attractions of the downtown area, although it’s just a 15-minute drive away.
