Experience Arizona's oldest hotel.
Northern Arizona's first hotel invites you to discover a stay where Victorian charm meets modern comfort. The Grand Canyon Hotel first opened its doors in 1891, offering a unique boutique experience that honors its rich history while providing all the contemporary amenities needed for your Grand Canyon adventure.
Your historic home base for Grand Canyon exploration.
This long-standing establishment stands proudly in the heart of Williams, serving as a landmark on Route 66 since the 19th century. Originally built as a waystation for travelers heading to the South Rim, the hotel maintains its historic character through careful restoration. Though it has changed hands many times over the years, the property continues to preserve its vintage allure while offering enhanced comfort throughout.
The soul of Route 66.
Each of the hotel's uniquely designed rooms tells its own story, with distinct quirks and personalities throughout. Accommodations have been thoughtfully updated to meet the needs of modern travelers while preserving their 19th-century charm. Luxury mattresses, premium linens, and plush pillows ensure a restful night. Discover exposed brick walls in select rooms, sweeping views of downtown Williams in others, or the cozy atmosphere of the carriage house suites. Unwind in the Victorian-inspired library lounge, a refined and tranquil space perfect for reading or simply relaxing.
Start your day with the hotel’s complimentary continental breakfast, featuring freshly baked scones, seasonal fruit, creamy yogurt, hearty oatmeal, and aromatic coffee and tea. This light morning fare is perfect for fueling Grand Canyon adventures. After exploring, downtown Williams places you just steps from dining options along historic Route 66, whether you're craving a quick bite or a relaxing dinner to end the day.
