The El Garces Hotel

Still prominent near the Needles Train Station is the historic El Garces Hotel,[3] built by the Santa Fe Railroad in 1908 for the Fred Harvey Company.[2] It is located near the original station, which was closed in 1958 but is currently undergoing restoration.[2] The name El Garces was chosen to honor Father Francisco Garces, a missionary who arrived in the area in 1776.[4]
