History

Established in 2000.

The hotel was almost demolished in the 1980s when it was owned by the railroad. It was saved by two local ladies who were able to have the buliding declared an historical treasure. In 1997 restoration began on the hotel. In 2000 the restoration of the Turquoise Room was completed and it was opened by renouned chef John Sharpe. The business slowly built up over the years as the hotel restored more rooms. From 3 rooms in the begining to 52 at the time of completion. The building and the gardens are a sight not to be missed. The restaurant is now considered by all the guide books and travel sites as the place to eat if you are in Northern Arizona. It is not to be missed. A real oasis in the high desert of Arizona. Don't miss it!
