Hon-Dah Resort Casino and Conference Center is in one of Arizona’s most beautiful locations, the White Mountains, surrounded by millions of acres of ponderosa pine. Guests will immediately feel the outdoor ambiance as they enter the lobby and check into one of the finest hotels on the Mountain!

The word “Hon-Dah” in the Apache language literally means “welcome to my home.” Guests from every corner in Arizona, and the globe, are welcome at the Hon-Dah Resort Casino and Conference Center located in the heart of Arizona’s White Mountains. Whether your visit is for business or for pleasure, you will find state-of-the-art convenience dressed in the charm of the Southwest.

Owned and operated by the white Mountain Apache Tribe, Hon-Dah Resort Casino is in the center of the pristine forests, wide savannahs and mountains of the Fort Apache Reservation which is home to a variety of wildlife including elk, black bear, cougar, javelina and turkey. Twenty six sparkling lakes and 400 miles of trout streams beckon to fishermen. Outdoor recreation is as diverse as the land, ranging from downhill and crosscountry skiing in the winter, to mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, camping and rafting in the summer.

At Hon-Dah Resort Casino you can stay in touch or get away from it all. It’s your choice! You can feel the outdoor ambiance as you enter their lobby and check into one of the finest hotels on the Mountain! Each of their 128 over-sized rooms comes complete with a wet bar, refrigerator, satellite TV, and luxurious appointments. Banish stress with a visit to the hot tub, sauna, or heated all-season pool.
