We look forward to having the SIMD meeting in the Albuquerque Hotel at Old Town (formerly the Sheraton Old Town), a charming property in the pleasant Old Town section of Albuquerque.  Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town exemplifies "Albuquerque Style," a unique blend of New Mexico's Pueblo, Spanish Territorial and Western cultural influences." Hotel Albuquerque is a landmark hotel nestled in the heart of the historic Old Town Plaza and museum district with its 400 year history and more than 200 shops, restaurants, and galleries to explore. It is also a convenient starting point for further exploration of all that Albuquerque and central New Mexico has to offer.

We have a link through the Albuquerque Hotel, and if that is full (1/25/10: rooms may be limited), we recommend the Best Western Rio Grande Inn (see Action:Reservations). (2/16/2010)-- PLEASE NOTE: There are no more rooms available at the Hotel Albuquerque. Please see the information below for the Best Western Rio Grande Inn.  From Leslie Lublink: "In order to put the code in, people will need to open up the little box that says" Check here for special rates" then a box opens up to put the code in. Open "Check here for special rates" to enter the code 032810SIMD. This box is right above Check Availability."
