The Hotel San Carlos will be closed through 2026.



From hauntings to Hollywood, the past and present unite at Hotel San Carlos, a historic hotel with a rich and storied past that includes visits from Mae West, Clark Gable, and Marilyn Monroe. With its 1928 opening, the existing hotel was the most modern hotel in the Southwest and the first air-conditioned, high-rise hotel with elevators in the state. Today, guests are invited to enjoy Centrico, the hotel’s Mexican fusion restaurant, taste the imported Irish beer at the famous Seamus McCaffrey’s, and experience the best of stays, including an on-site old-fashioned barber. The historic Hotel San Carlos truly offers warm Phoenician hospitality reminiscent of Hollywood’s Golden Era.
