Enjoying a prime downtown location just 1/2 a block away from the famous sites of Whiskey Row and the Courthouse Plaza, Hotel Vendome is the perfect place for a romantic getaway with some historic charm thrown in for good measure.

The hotel was built in 1917, and unlike many hotels it's only gotten better with age. It's been beautifully restored to its former glory, and has the kind of charm and atmosphere that attracts people the world over who are looking for a taste of Old West hospitality.

It has an open-air veranda on both floors and an intimate lobby and bar where a variety of drinks can be enjoyed, and it offers guests a complimentary breakfast every morning of their stay. It even enjoys a slightly paranormal history, with Room 16 being said to be haunted by the former owner and her cat - perfect for ghost watchers or a room to avoid if not!

The rooms are beautifully decorated in a traditional style, with lace curtains, oak furnishings, handmade quilts and period wallpaper being common features. All have the creature comforts of home including cable TV, telephone and climate control. There are 16 guestrooms to choose from with the options of either a queen, king or two twin beds. There are even four two-bedroom units with adjoining bedrooms and a central bathroom, perfect for families or for a holiday with friends. All of the rooms have large private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations and all of the amenities necessary.

Groups are always accommodated at the hotel, and they even offer help with the planning of your stay by co-coordinating things such as caterers, activities and day trips. They can offer special packages and rates for such stays, and they also offer a Romance Package with the addition of flowers, chocolates, sparkling cider, bubble bath and balloons adorning the room, perfect for that romantic getaway.

Rates start from $59 per night for a Classic Queen room up to $179 for a two-bedroom unit, depending on the night and the length of stay. Check in is at 2pm and check out is at 11am, and the entire hotel is non-smoking although it does have two designated smoking areas, one of each floor.

The hotel is nestled amongst other examples of beautiful Victorian architecture, and enjoys a great location in a safe and charming neighborhood. It's just minutes away from everything that historic downtown Prescott has to offer, from fine restaurants, cafes and old-style saloons to art galleries, artisan shops and museums.
