Property description

The historic El Rancho hotel was built in 1936 and opened its doors in 1937. It was the hotel to the stars with movie greats like John Wayne, Cary Grant, Dean Martin and Lucille Ball staying here while filming. The El Rancho kept it old west charm, while celebrating both the Navajo and Spanish roots this area is well known for. We have an authentic trading post featuring local jewelry and pottery and of course the famous route 66 merchandise. Our restaurant serves Mexican-American food, and features New Mexico wines. The 49er Lounge is a great place to relax, enjoy a New Mexican Beer or spirit.
