The Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites, the first hotel to be built on Hopi tribal land in 50 years, was the inspiration of the Elders of the Upper Village of Moenkopi. It was their vision that their village should be a place of welcome and gathering for visitors to Hopi tribal land.
That vision will become reality in February 2010 with the opening of the Legacy Inn. The village is the western gateway to Hopi tribal lands and is located adjacent to the Navajo community of Tuba City, a well traveled route between the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley.
Travelers have been less acquainted with the tourism opportunities in the Hopi villages on First, Second, and Third Mesas. The hotel, through their Experience Hopi website, connects visitors with authorized tour guides who provide private guided tours to the villages including Oraibi, Sipaulovi, and Walpi as well as Dawa Park - a site with over 10,000 rock art petroglyphs. The Hopi Villages are among the longest continuously inhabited places in North America, dating back to 950 A.D.
The Legacy Inn features 100 guestrooms, including 16 uniquely designed suites, a salt water swimming pool, conference center and outdoor performance plaza. The Upper Village of Moenkopi has an architecturally striking Travel Center across the street from the hotel at the junction of US Highway 160 and State Route 264. The Travel Center is named after TUUVI, the first leader of the Village of Moenkopi. The Travel Center offers a gas station, a complete convenience store, tax-free cigarettes, food for travelers on-the-go, and stores that feature authentic Native American handmade merchandise.
When travelers visit the TUUVI stores in the Village of Moenkopi, they will not only find the high quality Native American arts, crafts, and jewelry, but will find themselves immersed in the traditional culture of the Hopi tribe. The store owners and employees enjoy sharing information about the artists, the history, and the culture of the Hopi. Each store is owned and operated by Native Americans and has its own unique story. The owners are all passionate and experienced with the hand-made Native American arts that they sell. Most of the featured crafts have been purchased from local artists or have even been created by the owner and their families.
Experience the warm hospitality of the Hopi people - visit Hopi Villages, meet artists in their home workshops, enjoy unique Hopi food, and meet some of the friendliest people in the world - the Hopi people.
