Fed by the Colorado River and straddling the California and Arizona state line, Lake Havasu offers outdoor recreation for the whole family. Indeed, Lake Havasu is home to an interesting landmark. The original 1831 London Bridge was bought by an Arizona developer in the 1960s and reconstructed in Lake Havasu City. The town also features 28 scaled-down replicas of famous lighthouses along the lakeshore. On the Arizona side of Lake Havasu, you have a choice of independent waterfront resorts or chain hotels. Here are the best hotels near Lake Havasu.
The Nautical Beachfront Resort (1000 McCulloch Blvd. N; 928-855-2141) Lake Havasu City
This 139-suite lakeside resort offers a private marina and complimentary dock for guests. Enjoy the two beaches, a pool, lawn games, and water sports rentals.

Rooms are clean and offer full-sized refrigerators and microwave.” A Google reviewer adds that “being able to get up, walk to the beach and drive away in your boat is what sells this property.
