More than 140 years ago, an Irish immigrant named Timothy McCarthy began a lumber business in Ann Arbor, Michigan building farmhouses and barns. The company he founded in 1864 is now a billion dollar construction firm with offices nationwide. While no longer a family-owned business, the McCarthy of today maintains the long-held values of hard work, quality, respect and teamwork. Recently McCarthy has finished Sandia Hotel's construction, which is a full service hotel and conference facility. Construction on the resort began in April of 2004. The expansion added 434.284 square feet to the already existing 70.000-square-foot casino. Originally built in 2001 the casino will celebrate its fifth anniversary this May. The official opening will be in December. Guests will enjoy Southwest hospitality from the luxury hotel and excellent dining to a challenging round on the championship golf course or relaxing poolside.
Sheltered by the magnificent Sandia Mountains, the hotel offers guests 228 spacious guest rooms and suites. With luxury designated as a top priority, each guest room accentuates Southwest flavor, featuring wood engraved bathroom vanities and intricate ceramic tiled entryways to plush furniture and cozy beds. Rooms are equipped with 32-inch flat screen televisions, lavish bathrooms with separate bathtubs and walk-in showers. Oversized picture windows treat guests to breathtaking views of the panoramic Sandia Mountains, the greater Albuquerque area and the Rio Grande River Valley. The hotel is the second phase of development for the Pueblo and represents the tribe’s plans to diversify its economy. Revenue from the hotel and conference center will support the community’s education, healthcare, housing and law enforcement programs.
