Arizona
Jerome's past comes to life – or maybe it never left – at this rambling 1898 haunt. The 12 restored rooms convincingly capture the Victorian period, with such touches as pedestal sinks, flowery wallpaper and pressed-tin ceilings. It's above the popular Spirit Room, which has live music on weekends; rooms 1 to 4 get most of the bar noise.
