The Belen Hotel, at 200 Becker Ave. in Belen, New Mexico, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It is a two-story red brick flat-roofed L-shaped building with a chamfered corner. The hotel primarily served Santa Fe Railroad personnel.[2]

It was built for Mrs. Bertha Rutz, a German immigrant, who ran the hotel and its cafe until her death in 1953.[2]

Since 1996 it has been the home of artist Judy Chicago and her husband Donald Woodman, who spent three years converting it into a home.[3]
