Wigwam makes list of Top 10 novelty hotels

This is getting to be old hat for the Wigwam Motel, but it recently made the “Our Favorite Novelty Hotels” list for Frommer’s, the well-known international travel guide.

Frommer’s cited the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Ariz. It said:

As someone who edits a number of travel guides each year, I often find myself wishing I could stay at a particularly interesting or unusual accommodation. From our MTV Roadtrips USA book, I fell in love with the idea of staying in a 1940s-era concrete teepee just off Route 66 at the Wigwam Motel, in Holbrook, AZ (tel. 928/524-3048; www.galerie-kokopelli.com/wigwam; doubles A$54 per night) — which is, in fact, just one of several vintage motels offering teepee or wigwam-style rooms along the Mother Road. And in Holbrook, you can do it for just.

There also is a historic Wigwam Motel, by the same designer, in Rialto, Calif., that was lovingly restored a few years ago and is arguably an equal to the Holbrook Wigwam in quality.
