The best hotels in Prescott

What are the best hotels in Prescott?

Tucked away in the mountains of northern Arizona, Prescott is a lovely historic town sitting more than 5,000 feet above sea level. With its charming Victorian buildings, leafy town square and laid-back Wild West feel, it’s a great spot for anyone who enjoys a little history, outdoor adventure and a lively local scene. Whether you’re after a cosy boutique hotel or somewhere with a touch of old-school glamour, there are some lovely places to stay. Our top pick is Hassayampa Inn, a beautiful historic hotel with heaps of character and a fantastic central location.

Spend some time wandering around Courthouse Plaza, browse the quirky shops and galleries along Antique Row, or head to Whiskey Row for a drink in one of its traditional old saloons. History lovers will enjoy the Sharlot Hall Museum and Phippen Museum, while those keen to get outdoors can hike up Thumb Butte, go kayaking on Watson Lake or enjoy a relaxing afternoon beside Lynx Lake. If you're visiting in early summer, be sure to make time for the famous Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo, a much-loved local tradition and the world's oldest rodeo.
