Since 1901, Hotel St. Michael has had a front-row seat to Prescott history—fires, fortunes, legends and more than a few wild nights. A room upstairs, a drink downstairs and Whiskey Row out front. Come and go as you please. Stay a little longer than you meant to. Take it as it comes. Hotel St. Michael … as wild and free as ever.

Settle in, stay awhile.

Long before there was a Prescott or a Whiskey Row, this was Yavapai country, home to the “People of the Sun.” Then came gold. Prospectors poured into the Bradshaw Mountains, Prescott became the capital of the Arizona Territory, and a frontier town took shape around the courthouse plaza. By the late 1860s, more than forty saloons crowded Whiskey Row, where miners, ranchers, politicians, lawmen and outlaws came to drink, gamble and chase their fortunes. Faro ruled the tables, gold dust changed hands, and Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers walked these streets before Tombstone made them legends.

Our story began here, on the corner of Montezuma and Gurley, in 1868, with the Diana Saloon. The Diana gave way to the Hotel Burke in 1891, proudly promoted as “the only fire-proof hotel in Arizona.” Nine years later, the Great Fire of 1900 swept across Whiskey Row and proved otherwise. Hotel St. Michael rose from the ashes in 1901 and has stood on this corner ever since.

Join us as Hotel St. Michael celebrates its 125th anniversary.

 Verified Exceptional property!
I had always wanted to stay at this property. It was a pleasant surprise that it is now a member of the Best Western family. The room was very clean and well appointed. So much history here! The front desk associates were all so pleasant, especially Amy and April. I look forward to staying here again.

 Verified Clean and Friendly
Loved this hotel! I usually go for a Marriott or Hilton, but this came recommended to me from a friend of a friend so I said what the heck and booked it. We have a great time. The place was VERY clean and comfortable. The staff was wonderful, especially the front desk staff. There is not an ice machine here, but they do give out free ice and water in the lobby 24/7. If you like vintage, give this place a shot. Location could not have been better.

 Verified The Hotel St. Michael in Prescott, Az.
The location is right in the heart of Prescott in the vicinity of all of the shops, restaurants and saloons. The hotel in situated in a quaint old building. The elevator was installed in 1928 and has just the right amount of rustic charm. Our guest room was just the right size. Everything was clean from our guest room to the hallways to the restaurant to the lounge to all of the outside spaces around the hotel. The only meal we purchased in the Bistro was breakfast, which was priced right and the portions were just the right size. Parking is directly behind the hotel in a free parking garage right across from the hotel. I highly recommend this place.

 Verified Historical, charming, comfortable
The old western charm of this hotel is authentic and delightful. The room was large, bathroom small, all well equipped. There’s no gym and some street noise but those detractors are more than overcome by the lovely staff, great bars and perfect location.

 Verified Great hotel in the best location.
What a great find on Whiskey Row. Right in the middle of all the activities, across from court house square. They have a first level bar that looks out over the square and a speakeasy bar in the lower level with free entertainment at both bars on the weekends. The rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. Since we were on the third floor, we rode the old time elevator with a metal gate. The architecture and history can’t be beat.

 Verified Lovely Place
We stayed here for just one night. The place has a lot of charm. The whole hotel was warm and comfortable. It also had a lot of “southwest” flare, of course. The staff was friendly enough. It's located right downtown within walking distance of many good restaurants and bars with lovely cocktails. Free parking just a few steps away from the hotel. The city park located across the street is also quite pleasant. There was a little noise from the street traffic, if you are a light sleeper that could be a problem, but it was fine for us.
