Cool Arizona Places: Hassayampa Inn


If you are looking to get out of town this weekend and cool off just a bit the Hassayampa Inn in Prescott is a great place to visit and stay.

It was the pride of Yavapai County when it opened in 1927, financed by hundreds of residents who helped realize the dream of a first-class hotel near the Courthouse Square. A downtown Prescott landmark for more than eight decades, the hotel is widely known as a retreat for visitors to escape their busy lives and soak up the friendly ambiance of “Everybody’s Hometown.”

From the cheerful greeting at reception, to your ride up the vintage elevator, to touchdown on the plush, comfortable bed, we know you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Surrounded by mountains and lakes, and comfortably mild year-round thanks to its mile-high elevation, the town of Prescott, Arizona, naturally draws outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. The oasis-like town itself is threaded with trails that connect to the surrounding national forest, and three lakes for fishing and boating are within the city limits.

The Hassayampa Inn has a history as colorful as its name, rooted in the 19th-century panorama of the Wild West. Apache for “the river that loses itself,” the Hassayampa River north of Prescott mysteriously sinks beneath the surface along its 100-mile journey. Likewise, the hotel built in 1927 was conceived as a retreat, where travelers would emerge refreshed and renewed.

Faith Summers likes to stay at the Hassayampa Inn. That's a problem, because Faith is not of the earthly realm. Legend has it that Faith hung herself after her brand-new husband went out for cigarettes one night during their honeymoon in 1927 and never returned. That happened in room 426, and ever since, people have reported feeling Faith's presence in the hotel. One Internet rumor says the ghost of the betrayed bride likes to give women foot massages. Apparently she prefers to give men nightmares. If you're into doppelganger dreams, book a night in room 426, but if you're afraid of things that go bump in the night, you might want to leave the light on.
