Maybe George Washington didn’t sleep here at the El Rancho Motel/Hotel on Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. But John Wayne did. So did Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Mae West, Rita Heyworth, Alan Ladd, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, Gene Autry, Gregory Peck, Erroll Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Ronald Reagan, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Susan Heyward, Jean Harlow and too many more Hollywood stars to count. The El Rancho was home away from home for many of Hollywood’s biggest stars when they were shooting westerns in New Mexico. With its close proximity to Monument Valley, the Painted Desert and scores of desert landscapes that were, and still are, prime filming locations, the El Rancho was also located on Route 66, The Mother Road. Guests today can stay in the same room their favorite stars bunked out. The El Rancho’s pink glow against a painted blue sky of cobalt, ultramarine and turquoise at night promises a good night’s sleep for weary travelers. The six white columned entrance points to the El Rancho’s theme line; The Charm of Yesterday, The Convenience of Tomorrow in bright blue neon letters. And all the cars in the parking lot, asleep under a soothing pink glow, are resting up to hit Route 66 in the morning. Sweet dreams.
