Gorgeous place at Christmas even if bar/restaurant is closed. Popular with old Hollywood- Ronald Regan, Humphrey Bogart, Jack Benny... Way to enjoy Rt 66

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Back when westerns were box-office gold, the El Rancho Hotel was where the stars drank when they weren't sitting on horses. Read more

Great food, great atmosphere and reasonable prices. A quintessentially Gallup experience.

Michael Morgan

Surprised at how bad reviews are - I did not stay here but the exterior, lobby, and outdoor bar are absolutely beautiful and timeless. The restaurant was good, not great. But service was great!

Sarah Wilkinson

Food was just okay. The chicken fajitas were passable. The burritos were meh. We were excited to have authentic New Mexican food , this was a poor representation of it. The hotel was beautiful, though.

Stayed here in 2011 while driving cross country from NY-CA. Driving again with a dog and stayed again in 2013. So fun!

This hotel used to be host to movie stars on the western movies , kept historic. NICE, but be ready to experience an old feel for a hotel . No elevators so dont bring a lot of luggage. SERVICE OK.

Un posto davvero suggestivo e si mangia pure bene. Qui ci son stati i più grandi attori d'America e le stanze son tutte intestate alla loro memoria. Foto ovunque
