Grand Canyon Caverns Hotel - Deepest, Darkest, Oldest Room In The WorldGrand Canyon  
Caverns Suite

Known as the “largest, deepest, darkest, oldest, quietest motel room in the world,” the Grand Canyon Caverns Suite in Arizona ensures an experience unlike any other.

With caverns and walls over 65 million years old and located 220 feet underground, guests will find themselves completely isolated in the largest dry cavern in the United States.

This suite is not for everyone; it is the only one available in these caverns. For those who’d rather stay above ground, the motel offers plenty of other rooms.

Adventure seekers will find a plethora of activities, from cavern tours and ghost walks to horseback riding and rafting day trips.

Guests will find a restaurant with a full bar and screened patio a mile up the road.
