The 10 Best Hotels and Inns in Flagstaff, Arizona

The Weatherford Hotel has been open since 1900 and was one of the first buildings in the downtown area. Notable western writer Zane Grey often stayed at the Weatherford, and other buildings in Flagstaff are named after him, including the Zane Grey Bar and ballroom on the third floor of the Weatherford. If you’d like to stay at the Weatherford, be sure to book far in advance as there are only 17 rooms in the hotel.

Little America is a small hotel chain that operates hotels like Sun Valley Resort in Idaho and Snowbasin Resort in Utah. Its Flagstaff operation manages to run a quaint hotel that you would imagine is privately owned, given the warm, homey atmosphere. The hotel has a bar on site as well as a swimming pool and hot tub. The hotel also has partnerships with nearby ski resorts and hosts several events like the North Pole Experience, a pre-Christmas celebration with Santa.

Hotel Monte Vista is a 73-room hotel in the heart of Flagstaff, just a short walk from several restaurants, bars and attractions.

Monte Vista is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in America, so beware apparitions of old women, little boys and mysterious shadowy figures, as well as cries from the basement.
