HASSAYAMPA INN - Yesteryear's Charm with Today's Modern Amenities

Known as the Grand Dame of Prescott, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Hassayampa Inn was built as a luxury Hotel in 1927 to entice Phoenix tourists to flee the summer heat and enjoy the cool mile-high mountain air. You literally hear first time guests take in a breath, in awe of the nostalgic elegance, as they cross the threshold into the strikingly restored 1920’s style lobby. On the surface little has changed since the Inn first opened its doors 81 years ago but every modern amenity you’d expect a 21st century hotel to offer, including high speed wireless internet, is available. Each room is a reflection of the lobby’s carefully preserved décor complete with period furnishings. Accommodations range from a Standard Single to Classic, Suite and Jacuzzi Suite. Customized packages incorporate amenities like a full breakfast, food and beverage allowances and pre-paid gasoline card. Additional packages are centered around romance, live variety shows and golf outings and all blend outstanding value with first-class attention to detail, right down to in-room champagne and chocolates!

Enjoy world class cuisine in the ultra-fashionable, yet comfortable, Peacock Dining Room. Live jazz is frequent

in the leisurely Cowboy Bar and you may even catch a glimpse of Faith, the Inn’s beautiful resident ghost. It’s said that Faith and her new husband checked in while on their honeymoon, he went out to buy cigarettes and never returned. After waiting 3 days for her husband, the heartbroken Faith hung herself in the tower room.

The Hassayampa Inn also boasts over 6,000 square feet of the finest in conference meeting facilities with break out rooms, food and beverages, audio/visual equipment and a conference coordinator to handle all event details.

The location is as impressive as the Hotel’s style! Prescott’s world-famous Courthouse square is a mere block away. Endless boutiques, antique stores and every imaginable shopping experience desired can be found in this charming historic downtown, including the infamous “Whiskey Row” where the likes of Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp frequented in Wild West days.

Every comfort surrounded by Prescott’s “Everybody’s Hometown” ambience, what a priceless treat!
