The Hopi Cultural Center, Restaurant & Hotel
About 1.5 million acres, including three mesas, in northern Arizona is designated as Hopi land. The highest point of the three mesas offers panoramic views of the desert from an elevation of 7,200 feet. Situated on the second mesa, the hotel is open year round. Each of the 30 spacious guest rooms features one or two queen-size beds, a table suitable for dining or work and a coffee maker. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features an extensive menu, including several Hopi dishes. The Hopi live in 12 traditional villages and while most of their Katsina dances are open to the public, respect their privacy. Photography, sketching or recording of religious ceremonies is not permitted.
