Welcome to "Pod the Road Again" Today, we're exploring the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico, a historic landmark that has been a hub for Hollywood movie productions since 1936. Built by R.E. “Griff” Griffith, brother of film director D.W. Griffith, this rustic, three-story hotel has hosted legendary stars like Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, and Katherine Hepburn, and its lobby features a stunning walk-in fireplace and wooden stairways reminiscent of the Southern Plantation style. The hotel's rich history and nostalgic charm make it a must-visit for anyone traveling along Route 66, and its listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 solidifies its cultural significance as a symbol of the golden age of Hollywood.
Famous hotel in Gallup, NM, known for hosting Hollywood stars during the 1930s-1950s.
