Discover more about Turquoise Room

The Turquoise Room is more than just a restaurant; it's a portal to a bygone era of elegant railroad travel and refined Southwestern cuisine. Housed within the meticulously restored La Posada Hotel, a masterpiece designed by Mary Colter in 1930, the Turquoise Room revives the spirit of the original Fred Harvey dining room that once graced this iconic Route 66 landmark. Originally, the Turquoise Room was a private dining car on the Super Chief, a luxury train that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles. It was a favorite among Hollywood stars and studio executives. Today's Turquoise Room pays homage to this history, offering a menu that blends contemporary Southwestern flavors with classic dishes from the Fred Harvey era. Chef John Sharpe, a two-time James Beard Award nominee, uses fresh, local ingredients to create dishes such as Navajo Churro lamb, Hopi Piki Bread, and Fred Harvey Boilerman breakfasts. The restaurant is known for its exceptional food, attentive service, and unique ambiance. The dining room itself is a visual feast, adorned with Native American art and reminiscent of the stylish railroad dining cars of the past. The restaurant also uses china that is a replica of the Mimbreno china designed by Mary Colter. After your meal, take time to explore the La Posada Hotel and Gardens.
