De Anza Motor Lodge, Historic Route 66 motel in Nob Hill, Albuquerque, United States.

The De Anza Motor Lodge features Spanish and Pueblo architectural elements with exposed vigas, wide overhangs, and battered walls along Central Avenue NE.

Built in 1939 by Charles G. Wallace and S.D. Hambaugh, the motel expanded from 30 to 67 rooms after World War II to meet increasing tourism demands.

The basement contains murals created by Zuni artist Tony Edaakie, reflecting the strong connection between the motel and Native American heritage.

Located at 4301 Central Avenue NE, the property maintains its original neon sign and two buildings following a 2017 redevelopment project.

The Turquoise Room café featured a special terrazzo floor embedded with genuine turquoise and silver pieces, showcasing local mineral resources.
