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.

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.
