Gadsden Hotel, United States historic place in Cochise County, Arizona
The Gadsden Hotel is a five-story building in Douglas, Arizona, built in the early 1900s. Its interior features a grand marble staircase, tall marble columns, stained-glass windows, and a large Tiffany glass mural about 42 feet high depicting the desert landscape.
The hotel opened in 1908 and quickly became a gathering place for cowboys, ranchers, miners, and business owners. After a fire in 1929, it was rebuilt with help from architect Henry Trost from El Paso.
The hotel takes its name from the Gadsden Purchase, a land agreement that shaped the region's past. It has served as a gathering space where locals and travelers meet, dine, and connect in its lobby and common areas.
The hotel has five floors with numerous rooms and sits downtown on G. Avenue, making it easily accessible. Visitors can explore the lobby and artistic details, and accommodations range from historic rooms to modernized spaces depending on preference.
The original building was destroyed by fire in 1929, but the Italian marble staircase survived and still adorns the lobby today. The hotel hosted notable guests including Eleanor Roosevelt and appeared in several films, plus was featured on the television show Hotel Impossible in 2013.
