Discover more about La Posada Hotel

La Posada Hotel, located in Winslow, Arizona, is more than just a place to stay; it's a journey back in time to the golden age of railway travel and Route 66. Opened in 1930 as one of the last Harvey House hotels, La Posada was designed by the famed architect Mary Colter, known for her work at the Grand Canyon and her ability to blend Southwestern and Native American design elements. Colter envisioned La Posada as a grand hacienda, a welcoming home that reflected the regional culture of the Southwest. La Posada quickly became a popular stop for motorists traveling along Route 66. The hotel offered a luxurious respite for travelers during an era when roadside lodging was often quite basic. After closing in 1957 and serving as offices for the Santa Fe Railway, the hotel was lovingly restored in the late 1990s and reopened to the public. Today, La Posada welcomes guests with its golden stucco facade, arched doorways, and vibrant gardens, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. Visitors can explore the hotel's art galleries, stroll through the meticulously maintained gardens, and dine in the acclaimed Turquoise Room restaurant. Each of the hotel's uniquely decorated rooms is named after a famous guest who has stayed there. La Posada also has the unique distinction of being the only hotel in America with its own Amtrak stop.
