Historic Setting
The Historic Grand Canyon Hotel offers a terrace and free WiFi with mountain and city views from the outdoor seating area. Guests have access to express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and free on-site private parking. Security includes CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms.
Comfortable Accommodations
Rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms with walk-in showers, and parquet floors. Each room includes a kitchenette and streaming services, though no televisions are present - a deliberate touch to encourage immersion in the historic setting. Access to rooms is via a keyless code entry system, and the hotel provides earplugs for sleep in the charmingly creaky building.
Dining Options
A continental and à la carte breakfast is served daily with fresh scones, muffins, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and tea. Breakfast is set up near the reception, where guests can also enjoy hot chocolate and complimentary fruit throughout the day. For other meals, the hotel is steps away from several recommended restaurants, including Red Raven next door.
Convenient Location
The hotel sits directly on Historic Route 66 in downtown Williams, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars, and the Grand Canyon Railway depot. It is a 57 km drive from Flagstaff Pulliam Airport and about an hour from the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Guests consistently rate the location highly for its walkability and access to local attractions like Bearizona and the zipline.
Historical Atmosphere & Guest Services
The Victorian Library features a replica of the hotel's original stationary, an antique desk, and a collection of Zane Grey books along with board games. A second-floor patio offers outdoor seating, and an ice room provides shared refrigerators and a microwave for guest use. Staff members receive high praise for their helpfulness, with many guests noting the friendly welcome from managers Brittany and Vicky.
