About San Marcos Hotel
In Chandler, Arizona, the San Marcos Hotel occupies a prime corner of the original 1912 Chandler Townsite, on the northwest corner where San Marcos Place meets Commonwealth Avenue. Its front looks east onto San Marcos Plaza, the heart of the city. Dr. A.J. Chandler had the idea for the hotel, and its name honors Fray Marcos de Niza, who became the first European to reach the Salt River Valley. Vice President Thomas Marshall attended the opening in 1913, which was held with great fanfare. The resort began as a plan for a winter escape for celebrities, dignitaries and other luminaries.
The hotel offered the latest conveniences, including incandescent bulbs, a telephone in each room and over 3 miles of copper wire, and when it opened it was the only building in Chandler with electricity. Arthur Burnett Benton, whose only Arizona design this is, is the architect credited with the hotel. Its two stories are reinforced concrete, with a massing of offset rectangles and Mission Revival details. The irregular plan sits inside a rectangle of 187 feet by 221 feet.
Roofs are flat with parapet embattlements, arcades have segmental arches, and the towers carry red tile roofs with curved parapets. The hotel is described as an example of Mission Revival design in Arizona in which the style runs through the whole building and is not simply applied as ornament. It is among the earliest cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures in Arizona, and the National Register of Historic Places has listed it since 1982.
