Marriott Springhill Suites

at the Highlands

Albuquerque, New Mexico (Bernalillo County)

118-room hotel directly connected to Presbyterian Hospital, with a Ronald McDonald House floor dedicated to out-of-town children and families undergoing hospital care.

The Project

The new Marriott Springhill Suites (the Suites) will revitalize a blighted infill site in the heart of Albuquerque’s urban core, providing direct access to those receiving healthcare services.


The Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico (RMHC-NM) will occupy one floor, providing a home-away-from-home for families from across New Mexico who must bring their children to Albuquerque for life-saving medical treatment. The dedicated RMHC-NM floor will contain a lounge/ living room, community kitchen, admin offices, and laundry services, along with 15-20 rooms.

 

A skybridge will directly connect Presbyterian Hospital to the Suites, giving families of patients and employees of the Hospital seamless, 24/7 access to a reduced-stress environment that has proven to provide better healing outcomes.
