Hotel Mirador

The Copper Canyon & Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico


Suspended over the canyon, this hotel's 75 rooms (each with private balcony, beamed ceilings and somewhat dated furnishings) enjoy unbeatable views, as does the restaurant where buffet meals are served at communal tables. It's popular with tour groups and is overpriced, but you can't beat the extraordinary canyon panorama. Located on the east end of town.
