Santa Rita Hotel, Historic hotel building from early 1900s in downtown Tucson, United States.
The Santa Rita Hotel featured a distinctive rotunda entrance on Scott Avenue, leading to a grand lobby with marble staircases and wrought iron banisters.
Constructed in 1903 by builder Quintus Monier, the hotel cost $175,000 and marked the transformation of the former Military Plaza into a commercial center.
The hotel served as a primary social center in Tucson, hosting Martin Luther King Jr. in 1962 during his visit to the city.
The original structure contained 101 guest rooms, two restaurants, eight storefronts facing Broadway, and modern amenities including electric elevators and steam heat.
The sixth-floor roof garden provided guests with views of Tucson, while the 1917 Spanish Revival style addition expanded the building to 160 additional rooms.
