Prescott Guide talks about the historical Hassayampa Inn in Prescott

Prescott Guide invites you to experience the history and beauty of Prescott, Everybody's Hometown.The beautiful Hassayampa Inn sits gloriously on a corner in downtown Prescott. A grand hotel designed during the “roaring twenties” by El Paso architect Henry Trost, this historical building is a place where patrons can sit down and relax beyond the elaborate stained-glass doors. Prescott Guide invites you to learn about the Hassayampa Inn in Prescott.

The Hassayampa Inn is so cherished in Prescott history that it is on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as a member of the Historic Hotels of America. In its early days, the building was known as the “Hassayampa Hotel”, and hosted legendary celebrities such as Clark Gable, Georgia O’Keeffe, Tom Mix, Will Rogers, and D.H. Lawrence. Imagine sitting among the very rooms that historical figures have walked before.

The Past:
The name “Hassayampa” comes from the Apache language, and loosely translated it means “the river that loses itself.” And you surely can lose yourself in the beauty and majesty of this historic Prescott landmark. Built in 1927, it was known as “The Jewel of the County” because of its thoughtful hand-painted wood ceilings, etched glass, and embossed copper panel details. The interior features have been lovingly restored to their original glamour to give guests a true taste of the Inn’s heart and soul.

The Present:This beauty defies time, as the Hassayampa Inn still runs strong today. It offers several dining amenities, as well as venues for weddings, meetings, and other events. The décor of each guestroom is designed with a romantic Southwest style and a timeless touch to appreciate the history of the building. Today, the building has kept its featured architecture, as well as added modern amenities such as flat screen TVs and coffeemakers for its valued guests.
