FRANCISCAN, ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

Back Caption:

Franciscan, Albuquerque, New Mexico, formally opened its doors to the public December 15, 1923. Albuquerque and the Franciscan are the center of New Mexico of which Arthur Brisbane writes: “until you have seen New Mexico’s sky and mountains and deep red earth you do not know America. Until you have breathed the air of this heavenly land you do not know the best place for men and their children on this whole earth.” Franciscan is a hotel unique in the appropriate beauty of its architecture. The courtesy, thoughtfulness and helpfulness in catering to the comforts of guests make this hotel more homelike than hotel-like.
