Discover more about Hopi House

Located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Hopi House stands as a testament to the vision of architect Mary Colter and the rich cultural heritage of the Hopi people. Completed in 1905, this multi-story building was designed to resemble a traditional Hopi pueblo, drawing inspiration from the ancient dwellings at Old Oraibi, Arizona. Colter, recognizing the beauty of Native American design, sought to create a space where visitors could observe Hopi artisans at work and purchase their handcrafted goods. The architecture of Hopi House is a key element of its charm. The structure is made of sandstone, with walls that vary in size, texture, and coursing. The roofs are stepped at different levels, mimicking the terraced appearance of Puebloan architecture. Small windows allow only minimal light, reminiscent of traditional Hopi structures. Inside, the building features concrete floors and ceilings constructed with saplings, grasses, twigs, and a mud coating, all resting on peeled log beams. Corner fireplaces and niches in the walls add to the authentic Hopi ambiance. For over a century, Hopi House has offered authentic Native American arts and crafts to visitors. The selection includes hand-crafted kachinas, Native American jewelry, hand-woven Navajo rugs, and pottery. The second-floor gallery showcases museum-quality items. More than just a shopping destination, Hopi House provides a glimpse into the past and present of Hopi culture. In its early years, some Hopi artisans even lived on the upper floors of the building. Today, it stands as a tribute to Puebloan structures across the Southwest.
