The Aztec Hotel in Monrovia, California, is a historic landmark that opened in 1925 and is renowned for its distinctive Mayan Revival architecture, a rare style in Southern California. Designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd, the hotel was once a luxurious stop for travelers along Route 66. Its unique façade, intricate motifs, and vibrant colors make it a standout. The Aztec Hotel has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, preserving its cultural and architectural significance in the region.
In 1931, the realignment of Route 66 bypassed the Aztec Hotel. Although its lifespan on a commissioned Route 66 alignment was brief, the hotel remains a popular icon on the route. It is now one of only a few remaining Mayan styled buildings in the country.
