By Cronkite News Service

Here is a quick look at four surviving Harvey hotels in Arizona:

Havasu Hotel, Seligman

Opened around 1905, it has been closed for decades. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway says it plans to tear down the hotel. The Seligman Historical Society and individuals are studying the possibility of moving and restoring it.

El Tovar, Grand Canyon

Built in 1905, it continues to function as a hotel perched on the South Rim in Grand Canyon National Park.

La Posada Hotel, Winslow

Built in 1929, it has been restored to its former glory and is billed as “the last great railroad hotel.”

Fray Marcos Hotel, Williams

Opened in the early 1900s, it is part of the historic Williams Depot, which serves as the departure point for the Grand Canyon Railway. A new hotel has been built next to it. Part of the original hotel is used for the railway’s gift shop, ticket counter and offices.
