The Wigwam Motel is one of Route 66’s most iconic and photographed stops. Built in 1950, its individual teepee-shaped rooms and neon signage make it instantly recognizable, a perfect example of the quirky roadside architecture that defined the Mother Road. Its playful design and nostalgic charm even inspired the Cozy Cone Motel in Pixar’s Cars, making it a must-see for both road-trippers and fans of the movie. Travelers have been stopping here for generations, whether to spend the night in a unique lodging experience or simply to snap a photo of this classic Americana landmark.
