Historic Sonoita Inn
Not only do the interior rooms, lounges and hallways capture Sonoita's exciting history through photos, artifacts and artwork, but the very building itself is an historic tribute to the world's most celebrated thoroughbred, Secretariat. Built in 1980, the building was the fulfillment of Margaret Carmichael's dream, co-owner of Secretariat - the famed race horse who in 1973 won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont! Today, photographs of Secretariat, press clippings and racing programs are on display in the Sonoita Inn lobby.

Each room is named in honor of area ranches whose families have proudly operated their businesses here for centuries. Historic photos and biographical accounts of these local ranches adorn the hallways of the Sonoita Inn.

Beautiful scenic photography of local landscapes can be found in each room and in common areas. These photographs were taken by Sonoita photographer, Andrea Wystrach and are available for purchase.
