Hopi House

This is a classic and historic shop in every sense of the word! Beautiful building architecture. Sitting right on the Grand Canyon North Rim it has a large variety of authentic and non-authentic Native American arts and crafts. Some items seemed quite reasonable and others were a bit pricey. Nice and helpful staff. VictorB

This 1905 structure built from adobe brick, was designed for Hopi artists to live and sell their arts & crafts from to revive and preserve their artistic culture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987 by the National Park Service. Today, you will several floors of Native American paintings, jewelry, rugs, clothing, pottery, baskets, and books about Native American history. Even if you do not buy anything, it is still worth the time to walk through this fascinating building and to learn more about American history, which starts first with the eleven associated American Indian tribes of the southwest. There is a limited amount of parking to the east of the building, but we advise you to arrive early if you wish to find a spot.

Hopi House was the incredible architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter’s first here. I love her work and Hopi House is a great example of why. She worked with locally sourced materials and gave Hopi craftsmen and artisans a place to live and work while also drawing in visitors brought in by the railroad. These visitors watched from the porch of El Tovar as the Hopi built the building and made their goods. It seems to have been a brilliant way to personalize and pay what respects she could muster for the Hopi connection and history here.

The building is good and well maintained. It is now a gift shop with items from all over the world.

Beautiful and historical building turned into a gift shop…

It is unexpected! First, it is very large. Second, yes it has Indian art and items for sale but it an awesome gift shop. You name it they have it

Historical landmark showcasing Pueblo style architecture giving a great perspective of the indigenous culture.
