Overlooking the Sea of Cortez and rusting hulks of mine machinery, historic Hotel Francés is a colonial gem. Built in 1886 and originally the dormitory for the ‘working girls’ of a brothel near the mine, the hotel features beautiful rooms with high ceilings, cool cloth-covered walls and charming stained-wood details. Cash only.
