La Quinta Grand Portal
The classical styling, size and grandeur of this space, designed by John Gaw Meem in 1934, creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining. With magnificent views of the Sandia Mountains, the Grand Portal has a twenty foot deep covered portico surrounding a Portuguese tiled swimming pool with fountains. It features a true fresco painted in 1937 by Peter Hurd depicting San Ysidro, the patron saint of farmers, and a series of small mural panels of pastoral farm scenes by Harry Miller.
La Quinta Ballroom
One of John Gaw Meem’s architectural masterpieces, the Grand Ballroom is undeniably one of the most stunning venues in New Mexico. The ballroom’s parquet walnut floors, elaborate carved ceilings, decorative Spanish tile and monumental fireplace make it a magnificent setting for truly memorable events. Four sets of French doors open to the surrounding gardens and the Grand Portal.
La Quinta Gazebo
The Gazebo is set behind John Gaw Meem’s architectural masterpiece, La Quinta, and is an ideal space for intimate dining and afternoon teas. Tucked in a lush, secluded garden, this octagonal pavilion is our most private dining setting and features a dramatic outdoor fireplace and lattice between paired posts.
La Quinta Library

With its leather couches and deep wingback chairs flanking the fireplace, it is the perfect gathering place for cocktail receptions.
