It’s many lives and renaissance has seen a Who’s Who list of famous movies stars, politicians and celebrities throughout its history.

It operated until 1957, when it closed to the public and served for a while as offices for the Arizona headquarters of the Santa Fe.

Today, the hotel is one of the finest in Arizona and the Turquoise Room is always on the top five list of Arizona Restaurants.
