The Tewa Lodge is a historic motel on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico, built in 1946 as a Route 66 era property. Designed in Pueblo Revival style, the complex comprises two buildings separated by a parking lot: a single-story western structure with rooms opening onto an interior court, and a two-story eastern building with rooms in back-to-back rows and an office and manager's residence. The architecture features battered and buttressed stuccoed walls simulating adobe, flat roofs, and faux vigas typical of the style, along with mostly original metal casement windows set in arched openings with wooden lintels. Originally featuring covered parking between room pairs, some of these spaces were later enclosed to add rooms. Recognized as one of the best-preserved and still-operating Route 66 motels in Albuquerque, it was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
