Property Overview

Don't miss the extraordinary opportunity to become the proud owner of Arizona's most storied hotel. Nestled in the heart of history, this landmark establishment dates back to 1902 and stands as a testament to a bygone era, predating even the statehood of Arizona.

The Copper Queen Hotel, rich in heritage and timeless charm, boasts 48 meticulously remodeled rooms and suites. Each unit is exquisitely appointed with private bathrooms and personalized heating and cooling units. From the intimate single full rooms to the grandeur of the Teddy Roosevelt Suite, every space is adorned with period antiques, vibrant wallpaper, sumptuous velvet curtains, and luxurious bedding, evoking the opulence of a bygone era. Stepping into the Copper Queen Hotel is akin to stepping into the lavish manor of a cherished family member.

Adding to its allure, the hotel retains a delightful touch of nostalgia with large metal keys hanging behind the vintage wooden check-in counter, creating a charming departure from modern electronic key cards. This five-story Victorian villa-style gem, perched elegantly overlooking downtown, was originally commissioned by the owners of the Copper Queen Mine to host esteemed dignitaries and investors. This tradition continues to this day.

With a guest list boasting luminaries like First Lady Nancy Reagan, boxing legend Jake LaMotta, Hollywood icons Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland, and the esteemed Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Copper Queen Hotel has etched its place in history. From John Wayne's favored retreat in Room 211 to the muse-inspiring ambiance of Room 203, every corner holds a tale waiting to be told.

Under the dedicated stewardship of its current owner, the hotel has undergone meticulous restoration since 2017, preserving its heritage while integrating modern upgrades where necessary. As the largest hotel in Bisbee with a pool and an elevator, the Copper Queen Hotel stands as a beacon of hospitality and distinction in this burgeoning tourist destination.

Nestled amid the picturesque Mule Mountains, Bisbee beckons with its enchanting blend of Old-World charm and contemporary allure. Quaint Victorian homes line the winding streets alongside a vibrant tapestry of eateries, boutiques, art galleries, and museums. With accolades such as being named one of Travel Lemming's 50 Best Places to Travel in 2024, Bisbee shines as one of Arizona's premier destinations, drawing visitors from far and wide.

With its established visitor base and growing prominence, acquiring the Copper Queen Hotel represents a sound investment and a legacy of pride and distinction in the heart of Bisbee's rich tapestry. Don't miss the chance to write the next chapter in this timeless tale of hospitality and heritage.
