The Americana Motor Hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a reimagined retro-futuristic oasis situated on Historic Route 66 that blends mid-century nostalgia with modern “utopian optimism.” Originally opened in 1962 and once a stop for icons like Willie Nelson, the property has undergone an extensive renovation by Practice Hospitality to offer an immersive journey through the golden age of road-tripping and space travel. Featuring vibrant geometric designs, disco balls in every room, and a courtyard known as “the Backyard”—complete with a year-round heated pool and firepits—the hotel serves as a stylish gateway to the Grand Canyon and the world’s first Dark Sky City. Guests can enjoy quintessential Americana culture through unique amenities like telescopes for stargazing, loaner bicycles, and a walk-up burger window, making it a premier destination for modern adventurers seeking an authentic slice of roadside history.
