Whatever brings you to the Texas Panhandle, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites in Amarillo offers a warm, welcoming stay with a genuinely Texan feel. Conveniently located off I-40, which largely follows the original line of historic Route 66, the hotel is close to Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, downtown Amarillo and a range of local attractions, making it an easy base for exploring this iconic stretch of the Texas Panhandle.

There’s plenty to keep visitors entertained nearby, from the Panhandle Plains Museum and American Quarter Horse Museum, to family-friendly fun at Wonderland Amusement Park. No trip along Route 66 would be complete without a visit to the famous Cadillac Ranch, one of the route’s most photographed spots, just 15 miles from the hotel and well worth the trip for anyone touring this legendary highway.

Rooms are air-conditioned with TV, WiFi, coffee maker, hair dryer, in-room safe and workspace.
