Hotels in Prescott AZ

The Hassayampa Inn, Hotel St. Michael, Hotel Vendome, and Sheldon Street Lodge all sit within a one to three block walk of Whiskey Row, the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza, and the core Prescott downtown restaurants. The Hassayampa Inn is the most historic walkable option, built in 1927 with original architecture and a working bar. Hotel St. Michael and Hotel Vendome are both restored early-1900s Whiskey Row hotels with the bars and live music a wall away. The Hilton Garden Inn Prescott Downtown adds a modern walkable option a few minutes further on Marina Street with a pool and breakfast restaurant.

Most Prescott hotels are pet-friendly with a per-stay pet fee, typically $25 to $75 depending on the property and stay length.

Prescott has four busy lodging windows. Summer weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day fill quickly with Phoenix families escaping the 110-degree heat for 5,200-foot mountain weather. The single busiest stretch is Frontier Days and the World's Oldest Rodeo over late June and early July, with downtown hotels often booked months in advance. Fall color from late September through October draws weekenders to the cooler pines. Christmas weekends peak around the Courthouse Lighting and the Christmas in the Pines parade. Book at least 60 to 90 days ahead for these windows.
