Did you know one of America’s most infamous gangsters once hid out in Albuquerque? 👀 In the 1930s, Machine Gun Kelly, FBI’s Public Enemy No. 1—used the Bottger Mansion in Old Town as a secret hideaway. But Kelly isn’t the only legend tied to this house. Since its construction in 1912, it has hosted icons like Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, all staying here while traveling through New Mexico. From gangster hideouts to rock ‘n’ roll royalty, this mansion’s walls have seen it all. Today, it’s a charming B&B—but its history is anything but quiet. . . .
