BWH Hotels has opened the Aiden hotel in Flagstaff, Ariz. Signature to the brand, the Aiden by Best Western at Flagstaff captures the appeal of northern Arizona throughout the property. Art installations by the Arizona artist Buhlaixe—including a mural inspired by Flagstaff’s San Francisco Peaks and the colors of the Arizona sunset—are twists that help to capture the charisma of the destination. The hotel has a multi-functional public area where work and play collide.
This Aiden hotel is in a historic building constructed in the 1970s, with photogenic mid-century architecture. Each of the 96 guestrooms features a wall with a topographical map and pine trees, as well as pictures of local aspens to reflect the ambiance of the natural landscape surrounding the property. Outside is a public deck, including a hot tub, heated pool, fireplaces, loungers and lawn games.
The hotel sits a mesa at the entrance of Flagstaff, with views of the San Francisco Peaks and the Coconino National Forest. It is also near Northern Arizona University and popular attractions, recreation and shopping centers. The property is easily accessible from the Mountainline Bus System, Flagstaff Pulliam Airport and the Flagstaff Amtrak Station.
