The Aztec Hotel is a National Register landmark located along the old Route 66 alignment in Monrovia, CA. Built in the Mayan Revival style by the visionary English architect Robert Stacy-Judd (1884-1975) circa 1925, The Aztec has recently passed into new hands and closes today for refurbishment. While we await the re-opening of one of our favorite buildings, please enjoy this photo set and three panoramic photographs: #1, #2, #3 all captured yesterday (May 8, 2012) in this most lyrical and mysterious building, which has long been a highlight of our Route 66 tours.
