Love for La Posada
I have stayed at La Posada in Winslow, Arizona on numerous occasions. It is one of my favorite places in the world and one of the hotels that spawned my love for historic hotels. I simply had to dedicate one of my Route 66 Ranch Hotel mystery books to La Posada, the most glorious of Route 66 hotels. You can learn more about the one-of-a-kind experience by visiting laposada.org, but I am going to share with the you the one thing I could never find anywhere on the great wide web: a list of the names of the hotel rooms. Each room is named after a famous person who has stayed there, and there are some greats!
