MañanaCon 2026 is at a new venue, the Marriott Albuquerque near Louisiana and I-25.

How to Get There 

Just down the street from our previous venue, the Marriott is easily accessible and has good food, parking, and transit options.

🚌 Lots of bus lines run near the event (the 8 on Menaul, The 766 ART from the West Side and Downtown via Central, and the 157 from the West Side down Louisiana). And it’s free to ride the bus in Albuquerque! 

🚗 Parking at the hotel is free of cost. There is a small parking lot on the east side of the building close to the convention halls, and a larger parking lot on the west side of the building.

There is no official room convention room block this year, but you can book the hotel direct through their website.

Tasty Vittles

Food options for the convention are very convenient.

The hotel has a restaurant and a small gift shop with snacks if you want to stay close. You are also welcome to bring any food purchased at the cafe or the restaurant into our gaming spaces! (Though, of course, be respectful of other people’s games, please.)

Per hotel policy, outside food is not allowed in any MañanaCon spaces.

Want a break from the hotel?

La Madeleine and Jason’s Deli are right across the street. Buca di Beppo is good if you want to take a large group for a relaxed meal and is right behind the hotel.

Beyond those options, there are several dozen restaurants within a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive. Pink Pony Soft Serve offers up yummy ice cream. Tasty Noodles and Dumplings does what it says on the tin and Cheese and Coffee is a perennial con-goer favorite for sandwiches. The two nearby malls, Coronado and Winrock, also have tons of restaurants including many favorite chains. And if you want to pull together lunch on the cheap, Trader Joe’s is very close and there are a few nearby parks with tables for a picnic.
