Gallup's historic El Rancho Hotel (N.M.)is just a short road trip from major Native-American, recreational and historical sites-a plus for explorers, history buffs, hikers and mountain bikers. Built in 1937 on historic Route 66, the hotel-now protected by preservationists- rented rooms to more than 3,000 movie stars in the 1930s and 1940s while they were in town making movies.
Today, Navajo art, celebrity photos, a grand staircase and mammoth stone fireplace fill the rustic hotel's two- story lobby. Guests dine in the hotel's classic "Old West" 49er Lounge and enjoy local and regional dishes and Mexican cuisine in the hotel's on-site restaurant. Amenities include outdoor pool, meeting and fitness facilities, and complimentary airport transportation and wireless Internet access.

The three-story Gallup hotel features 94 Southwestern style guestrooms and four suites with premium cable channels, balconies or patios, ceiling fans and windows that open.
