2-star historic Route 66 hotel in downtown Williams

Amenities

The Historic Grand Canyon Hotel provides 24/7 access through door codes, a lobby with a working fireplace, and a Victorian library stocked with a Zane Grey collection and antique games. Guests can store food in an ice room with refrigerators and use a luggage storage room. Security includes CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers.

Rooms

Each room is individually decorated; some include a kitchenette with a fridge, dishwasher, and oven. The Carriage House 3 offers a king bed, a Jacuzzi tub, a fireplace, and a writing desk. All rooms have air conditioning, heating, and private bathrooms with new fixtures and powerful showers.

Location

The hotel sits on Route 66 in the center of Williams, within walking distance of the Grand Canyon Railway depot. Guests can walk to restaurants, breweries, shops, the Alpine Coaster, the Poozeum, and Bearizona. Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is 57 km away, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is about an hour's drive north.

Dining & Breakfast

A continental breakfast is served each morning, featuring fresh scones from a local bakery, yogurt, muffins, fruit, and coffee. There is no on-site restaurant, but Red Raven Restaurant is next door and many dining options are within a short walk. The hotel also offers free parking in a lot behind the building, though spaces are limited.

Entertainment & History

The hotel maintains its 130-year-old character with sloping floors, creaky staircases, and exposed brick in the ballroom. Guests can explore the library, play board games, and hear ghost stories from staff about the reportedly haunted suite 13. The hotel provides earplugs in rooms because street noise and passing trains are audible at night.

Highlights

Historic: 130-year-old building with original woodwork and ballroom

Rooms: 22 uniquely decorated rooms, including Carriage House suites

Location: Walk to Grand Canyon Railway and downtown Williams

Dining: Local scones and pastries at continental breakfast

Entertainment: Victorian library, ghost lore, and board games

Family: Multiple-room suites and kid-friendly library

“This establishment truly feels like a step back in time, with its meticulously restored historic charm evident in every gilded mirror and ornate carpet. The atmosphere is exceptionally cozy, and the attention to detail, from the comfortable bedding to the thoughtful amenities like the library stocked with period books, makes for a genuinely transportive stay. It's a delightful gem that captures the spirit of its Route 66 locale.”
