The classical styling, size and grandeur of this space, designed by John Gaw Meem in 1934, creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining. With magnificent views of the Sandia Mountains, the Grand Portal has a twenty foot deep covered portico surrounding a Portuguese tiled swimming pool with fountains. 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.
