La Posada de Albuquerque (formerly the Hilton Hotel) is a historic building located at 125 2nd Street NW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Opened in 1939, it was Conrad Hilton's fourth hotel and the first modern highrise hotel in the state. Architect Anton F. Korn designed the ten-story building in the New Mexico Territorial style, with earthtone stucco, brick coping along the roofline, and southwest-style woodwork and furnishings. The hotel was renovated in 1984 and reopened as La Posada.
The old Hilton Hotel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Currently, the hotel is again under renovation. In March of 2008, it was renamed "Andaluz" with a projected opening of Fall 2008.
