Old hotel in Williams being restored

The Williams-Grand Canyon News, based in the Route 66 town of Williams, Ariz., has quite a story about the new owners of El Pinado Hotel and their ongoing efforts to restore the historic hotel on Second Street between Route 66 and Grand Avenue in Williams.

Dennis and Pam Dreher, formerly of nearby Flagstaff, are removing the years of paint, fixing the brickwork and bringing back the hotel’s fascade.

He said the downstairs of the old hotel would be comprised of commercial property when the renovation is completed. He plans to turn the upstairs into two 600-square foot apartments. Both apartments will have access to a balcony area. The Drehers eventually plan to live on the property as well.

According to the story, the circa-1905 building eventually will be renamed The Cottage Hotel.
