The Copper Queen Hotel, started in 1898 and completed in 1902, was the product of a booming mining camp called Bisbee. Once the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco, Bisbee is now a beautiful and quiet getaway. While the town of Bisbee has "grown up," it has not lost its charm. Soon after Bisbee became a town, Phelps Dodge Mining Company built the Copper Queen Hotel as a place for dignitaries and investors to relax in luxury.

Located roughly 100 miles southeast of Tucson and at an elevation of 5,300 feet, the hotel is usually 10 to 20 degrees cooler than in Tucson or Phoenix. In the winter, we are even blessed with an occasional snowfall. Bisbee is the southernmost mile high city in the U.S. and is eight miles from the border of Mexico.

Initially, the first floor was heated by a fireplace in the lobby. Now, the first floor has central air and heat. Originally, the hotel boasted 73 rooms with shared baths at the end of the hall on each floor. Today, the original hotel has 48 rooms with turn of the century Victorian charm, each room having its own modern private bath. The courtyard building adjacent to the hotel was originally built in 1904 to house Phelps Dodge's lawyers' offices as well as the surveyor's and Western Union offices after they moved out of what is now the Saloon. This building was later converted to a bed and breakfast and bought back by the Copper Queen Hotel in 2006 giving the hotel a total of 52 rooms. The courtyard rooms are also decorated in a Victorian style and located just steps away from the hotel. The courtyard is brick-inlaid and has a relaxing fountain and wrought iron furniture to sit, relax and enjoy the day
