About Los Poblanos Historic Inn \u0026 Organic Farm

Organic shampoo, hand-milled honey soap, complimentary earplugs. Wait, what? Don’t worry, it’s not the pulsing beats of a nightclub below that might interrupt your sleep — it’s the peacocks. The fabulously decorative birds, infamous for their early morning call, are just some of the exotic creatures that wander the grounds of Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm. The wildlife is part of the charm: Los Poblanos, located outside of Albuquerque, isn’t just a hotel. It’s a working ranch where lavender grows abundantly in the fields — and finds its way into everything from in-room bath products to the artisanal cocktail menu. To be fair, the lavender is a relatively new addition to the local harvest, planted well after the wheat, corn and chili peppers that have grown here for hundreds of years. Los Poblanos is best known as the homestead of a 1930s-era power couple — a Congressman and Congresswoman — who spared no expense in its construction. The lady of the house tapped celebrated Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem, landscape architect Rose Greeley, and a winning team of local artists and craftsmen to overhaul the ranch. Today, even after additional updates, Los Poblanos still exudes old-fashioned Southwestern-style elegance. Guest rooms and suites, divided between the original Meem buildings, a series of repurposed dairy buildings, are rich with period details: hand-carved beams, wood-burning fireplaces, ironwork, tin light fixtures, hardwood floors, hand-plastered walls, original artwork. Some have private patios, too. Contemporary amenities include eco-friendly linens by Coyuchi, alarm clocks by Tivoli, and, of course, bath products made with the lavender grown on the premises. It comes as no surprise, given its function, that the whole place has an environmentally conscious bent: only green cleaning products are used at Los Poblanos, and the staff encourages you to leave your car where it is and hop on a complimentary cruiser bicycle instead. There’s plenty to see and do at the 25-acre farm itself — a saltwater swimming pool, self-guided architecture tours, cooking classes, a fitness center, and the new Hacienda Spa, dedicated to a concept called the “Generous Life.” Last but not least, of course, is Campo, a farm-to-fork restaurant that’s quite popular with local foodies.
