If you want to experience the "Old West" here, you can visit just about any town and find a historic saloon or hotel for an experience. Open since 1907, The Gadsden Hotel is an Old West hotel in Arizona that will take you back in time as soon as you step inside.

The Gadsden Hotel is a historic hotel that was built during the "Old West" era. Open since 1907, it's a registered National Historic Site.

In 1929, there was a fire that had destroyed much of the hotel except for the elevator cabin, the marble staircase, and the marble columns. However, the rebuilt hotel has still maintained its Old West feel.

From the moment you enter its doors, its like being in a time warp. You'll feel as though you just arrived in the Old West and what an awesome feeling that is!

With coffered ceilings, stained glass windows, the original marble columns, and the original marble staircase, it's such an architecturally stunning hotel. I can truly appreciate historic architecture like this.

As with just about any hotel with historic origins in Arizona, The Gadsden Hotel has its very own tavern.

The Saddle & Spur Tavern with its copper ceiling and dark wood bar certainly has that Old West ambiance as well. In addition to the tavern is the hotel's upscale 333 Cafe Restaurant & Bar.

Offering a variety of comfortable rooms and suites, a stay at The Gadsden Hotel is one of a kind. Spend a night or more at this beautiful historic town and explore the town of Douglas while you're here.
