Accommodations in Canyon

Canyon is a ‘bedroom community’ of Amarillo, meaning it serves as a residential area more than a commercial area. Amarillo may be where you choose to stay, but some may choose to stay closer to the reception area. Check out the two hotels in Canyon at

Inns/Bed & Breakfasts in Canyon and Amarillo

For those of you looking for something ‘a little more country’, two Bed and Breakfasts might do the trick. Auntie's House Bed and Breakfast, built in 1912, is located in downtown Amarillo, close to Route 66. This residence, as well as the entire neighborhood, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mary Elizabeth Hudspeth House in an inn located in Canyon. If you’re interested in one of these, call early as space is limited.

Transportation

Many of the hotels in Amarillo will provide transportation from the Rick Husband International Airport (confirm this with your hotel), but travel around the city and to your destinations will demand that you use your own source of transportation. A 30-minute trip from downtown Amarillo to Canyon will cost approximately $45.00 using a taxi service (Airport Taxi Service, 806-358-8350). Renting a car is a more ideal way of getting around the area. Here is a list of Car Rental Services provided at the airport (Swedes have to dial 001 before the area code):
