The preserved Route 66 attraction with concrete teepee-shaped motel rooms in Holbrook, Arizona, is the Wigwam Motel.
Holbrook’s Wigwam Motel is one of the surviving Wigwam Motels built from a distinctive teepee-room design. Each guest room is a separate concrete structure shaped like a Native American-style teepee, creating an unusual architectural landmark beside the old highway.
The Holbrook property opened in 1950 and became part of the visual identity of Route 66 in Arizona. Its design was intended to attract motorists looking for memorable lodging rather than a standardized hotel experience.
The name can cause confusion because “Wigwam Motel” refers to a small chain rather than only one property. Other surviving examples include the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino, California. The Arizona location is specifically in Holbrook.
