The El Trovatore Motel is one of the few pre-World War II tourist courts left in Kingman. The business started in 1937 as a service station, with the tourist court added later in 1939, and was first owned by John F. Miller.

The motel is located on El Trovatore Hill, a location on a stony bluff that awarded stunning vistas of the Hualapai Mountains and the awe inspiring landscapes that embraced it.
