The wilderness of the Santa Catalina Mountains was an unlikely place for a luxury resort hotel, especially in the untamed Arizona Territory days. Yet, here in a spot not even on the map, the mysterious Curly Neal built a hotel for his wife Annie. To the Mountain View Hotel came foreign princesses and princes, diplomats, rich Americans, writers, show business celebrities, prospectors and questionable western characters. They brought with them their tragedies, joys, chicanery and humor. They came for the healthy air, the good food and the gracious hospitality of Annie Neal. Meet five of Annie’s guests who helped define a town and build the foundations of a state. Annie’s Guest’s is part history, part biographies, and a healthy helping of old western lore.
