Hotel Albuquerque is home to the Southwest's first authentic Flamenco Tablao. The National Institute of Flamenco in partnership with Heritage Hotels & Resorts is proud to offer this intimate performance space designed exclusively to feature the artistry of Flamenco. Sixty percent of the proceeds of the tablao go to support the National Institute of Flamenco for the promotion and advancement of this unique art form.

Tickets Available

Our tablao features artists of the highest caliber Thursdays through Sundays. The lounge serves authentic Sevillan tapas and regionally inspired fine wines and spirits.

History of The Tablao

The tablao is a model that emerged in Spain in the early 20th century as a platform to develop and cultivate the essence of the art of flamenco. The built-in intimacy between performers and artists has seen the emergence of master artists throughout generations. While accentuating flamenco’s innate vibrancy and energetic downpour, our in-home venue will continue to contribute to the cultural heritage that abounds in our state; enriching the experience for both locals and visitors year-round.

HISTORY

Originally built in 1783 by Salvador Armijo, Casa Esencia is one of New Mexico’s most historic buildings and a landmark with the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. Originally a privately owned hacienda, the building’s architecture was typical of the time with thick adobe walls, an absence of windows and an enclosed courtyard. Over the years, the building saw multiple renovations including the addition of windows and a wing which allowed the Armijo family to rent rooms to generate additional income.

DESIGN

Casa Esencia features 17 different indoor and outdoor rooms with elegant contemporary decor and historic architectural elements. Relax in an elegant, serene setting while your guests wander through various private rooms, patios and courtyards during graceful wedding receptions, corporate functions or intimate gatherings. Listen to live music, a customized playlist, satellite radio or just the trickle of water from our fountains. Enjoy the aromas from dramatic food displays throughout the venue. Sip our Mixologist’s unique cocktails and taste the delectable creations from the customized menu.

Experience Crafted Cafe at our sister property, Hotel Chaco, for a light bite and New Mexico made wine or spirits. Sit on the patio to take in the views of the Sandia Mountains or Sawmill Market.
