Wigwam Motel, Native American-style tepee lodging along Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona.
The Wigwam Motel consists of fifteen concrete tepee structures arranged in a semi-circle, each containing basic accommodations with modern amenities and vintage furnishings.
Chester Lewis established this Wigwam Village in 1950 as part of a chain of similar motels, following the original design patented by Frank Redford in Kentucky.
The motel preserves the mid-century roadside architecture of Route 66, displaying vintage automobiles and maintaining its original Native American-inspired exterior design.
Each tepee unit includes a bathroom, television, air conditioning, and parking space, with rates starting at ninety-nine dollars per night.
Guests sleep in individual concrete tepees measuring twenty-one feet wide and twenty-eight feet high, decorated with traditional southwestern patterns and colors.
