Route 66 Hotels, Dining & Classic Motels

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lodging options as one travels across all eight states along Route 66. Selecting a motel or hotel to your liking can be a daunting experience!

Some Route 66 travelers seek out historic, vintage motels like the Munger Moss Motel, Wagon Wheel Motel, Boots Court, Wigwam Village and Blue Swallow. These iconic lodging facilities are typically independently-operated by "Mom and Pop" owners. Other roadtrippers prefer the amenities of newer hotels and vacation rentals.

On this page we highlight some of the popular, classic, historic motels still in operation along the Mother Road, and present hotel listings and traveler reviews from TripAdvisor. Also included are restaurant reviews and travel guides from TripAdvisor.

The Route66RoadTrip website has no connection with any of the hotels and motels listed ... they are provided as a starting point in your research and selection on where to stay on Route 66 on your next road trip.

Amarillo offers more than 100 hotels and places to stay. It is a great stopping point for those traveling Historic Route 66, with not only many lodging options, but dining possibilities as well.

There are three primary clusters of lodging in Amarillo - downtown, on the east side of the city along I-40, and on the west side near Soncy Road (exit 64 from I-40). We prefer the Soncy Road area, near I-40 and the medical district, but that is just a personal preference.

Wigwam Village No. 6 in Holbrook

The Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, at night, with Mr. Lewis' Studebaker

Located at 811 West Hopi Drive in Holbrook is one of the three remaining Wigwam Villages. The other two are located in San Bernardino, California (No. 7) , and Cave City, Kentucky (No. 2). A total of seven Wigwam Villages were constructed between 1936 and the 1950s.

While passing through Cave City, Kentucky in 1938, Chester E. Lewis was impressed by the distinctive design of the original Wigwam Village constructed in 1937 by architect Frank Redford. Mr. Lewis purchased copies of the plans and the right to use the Wigwam Village name. Finished in 1950, Mr. Lewis’ village was the sixth village build, thus its designation as Wigwam Village No. 6.

Today, each teepee has a private bathroom with toilet and shower, a television, air conditioner and original hand-made hickory furniture. Vintage automobiles are permanently parked throughout the property, including a Studebaker that belonged to Mr. Lewis. It continues to be operated by the Lewis family.

Wigwam Motel No. 7

Driving down Route 66, this San Bernardino motel immediately grabs your attention with its one-of-a-kind roadside architecture. In 1933 Frank Redford started developing the Wigwam “Villages” by designing teepee shaped motel units. This was the last of seven Wigwam Motels built across the country; only three survive today. The others are located in Holbrook AZ and Cave City KY.

This one was opened in 1949, at 2728 E. Foothill Boulevard, and welcomes travelers to "sleep in a teepee".
