Designed by Robert Stacy-Judd, the Aztec Hotel opened in 1925. Its quirky Mayan Revival style was an oddity praised for its inventive design that walked a bizarre edge. The hotel, located along the old Route 66 roadway through Monrovia, has had many ups and downs over the years and its real history is still shrouded in mystery and urban legend.

Is it cursed? What famous people actually stayed there? Did it have a speakeasy?

Join Bizarre Los Angeles' Craig Owens, author of Haunted by History Vol. 1, for a rare look inside this legendary Monrovia landmark. As the official historian of the Aztec, Craig will lead you through these legends and stories to the truth of why this place has held such curiosity and mystery for many decades. The tour will visit numerous locations throughout the hotel, including Room 120, not available to the public.

Please Note: the Mayan Restaurant and Bar (where we will be eating) is now under new management. So let's show support for the new proprietor! You'll love Michelle!
