Hotel Vendome

Arizona


This dapper inn, dating from 1917, blends up-to-date style with period touches such as claw-foot tubs. The small Fremont Bar, beside the lobby, is a fun place to sip a mulled wine in winter, a sangria in summer or an interesting draft beer anytime. If you ask, the welcoming hosts might even tell you about the ghost (Abby) in room 16.
