The Best Historic Places to Stay

Hermosa Inn (Phoenix; tel. 800/241-1210; www.hermosainn.com): The main building here dates from 1930 and was once the home of Western artist Lon Megargee. Today, the old adobe house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and has become a tranquil boutique hotel with luxurious Southwestern-style rooms and a beautiful restaurant terrace.

El Portal Sedona (Sedona; tel. 800/313-0017 or 928/203-9405; www.elportalsedona.com): Built of hand-cast adobe blocks and incorporating huge wooden beams salvaged from a railroad trestle, this inn is a work of art both inside and out. The mix of Arts and Crafts and Santa Fe styling conjures up haciendas of old.

El Tovar Hotel (Grand Canyon Village; tel. 888/297-2757; www.grandcanyonlodges.com): This recently renovated classic log-and-stone mountain lodge stands in Grand Canyon Village only feet from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Although the lobby is small, it's decorated with the requisite trophy animal heads and has a stone fireplace.

Grand Canyon Lodge (Grand Canyon North Rim; tel. 888/297-2757; www.grandcanyonnorthrim.com): This, the Grand Canyon's other grand lodge, sits right on the North Rim of the canyon. Rooms are primarily in cabins, which aren't quite as impressive as the main building, but guests tend to spend a lot of time sitting on the lodge's two viewing terraces or in the sunroom.

La Posada (Winslow; tel. 928/289-4366; www.laposada.org): Designed by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, who also designed many of the buildings on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, La Posada opened in 1930 and was the last of the great railroad hotels. Today, the hotel is again one of the finest in the West and has been restored to its former glory.

Arizona Inn (Tucson; tel. 800/933-1093 or 520/325-1541; www.arizonainn.com): With its pink-stucco walls and colorful, fragrant gardens, this small Tucson resort dates from Arizona's earliest days as a vacation destination and epitomizes slower times, when guests came for the winter, not just a quick weekend getaway.
