Everything and More…

In addition to the many historic hotels and restaurants on your Fred Harvey tour, Arizona and New Mexico are best known for their surreal landscapes and Native American heritage. Everything, from the flat-topped mesas to the adobe buildings in large towns such as Santa Fe, seems to be toasted by sunlight and history. These are favorite states for road trips, especially as New Mexico retains a good section of the legendary Route 66. The most breathtaking sight within all these sun-baked vistas? The Grand Canyon, which is a truly awesome sight.

Detours through the Southwest for over a Century

Fred Harvey began feeding rail passengers in the Midwest and West in trackside restaurants and later dining cars and new union stations. But its enduring legacy is its grand hotels in New Mexico and Arizona, allowing drivers and train travelers to take the same scenic Southwest Detours that have captivated locals and visitors since the first Santa Fe Railway train pulled into the depot at the Grand Canyon in 1901.

Some of the world’s most spectacular hotels await you!
