This enchanting 1930's hacienda style hotel designed by Mary Colter - perhaps the greatest architect of the Southwest - was her masterpiece and the last built by the Santa Fe Railroad. A favorite retreat for Hollywood stars and such notables as Harry Truman and Charles Lindbergh. Today everything is being restored to it's original charm - acres of gardens, beautiful painted ceilings, stone floors and adobe walls, and an on- site workshop is making the furniture as done in the 18th century. Perfect for romantic getaways, weddings, conferences and special events. Wander through the ballroom, arcades and grounds, or take a day trip to the Grand Canyon, Hopi Mesas, Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest, Sedona, or nearby petroglyph canyons. Within 5 miles of golf, the airport, tennis, fishing, and shopping.
The newly re-opened Turquoise Room and the Martini Lounge reflect the pooling of many creative talents, resulting in the re-creation of the elegant dining and grand hotel bar settings that once attracted such noteworthy guests. With China inspired by Mimbres Indian pottery, an eclectic menu created by the English chef, and piano music playing in the background, guests can expect an experience that delights all the senses.
