“World Class comfort nestled close to town”

Unlike most resorts in Tucson the Arizona Inn is located conveniently close to downtown and the University of Arizona. Rooms are spacious and comfortable - our standard room would be a mini suite in a mega chain hotel. The grounds are gorgeous, well manicured lawns, tennis courts, croquet, ping pong, badminton and a beautiful pool are all amenities included in your stay. The Inn has existed since 1930 and was a frequent stop for Movie Stars visiting the Tucson area. The staff was courteous and very helpful, we wanted for little during our stay. We'd definitely go back again.

“Genuinely gracious”

The Arizona Inn was beautiful in terms of architecture, decor, and gardens, and the staff was outstanding -- gracious, helpful, genuinely glad to help. The food was excellent as well.

Area recommendations
Outside of Tucson there are two sites of great interest: Kartchner Caverns (Geology) and Kitt Peak Observatory (Astronomy).

“Lovely hotel, clean room, friendly staff - great experience. Very pricey food, though!”

The hotel is very special - historic building and furnishings, beautiful grounds, all maintained very nicely. A pleasant experience overall. The hotel food was ridiculously pricey, so we chose not to eat in the hotel.

“lovely old hotel and gardens”

I stayed at the Arizona Inn in mid-November 2009. My room was large and very comfortable, with a huge closet, pretty writing desk, and a very private little patio with a lounge chair and a table, umbrella, and two chairs. The surrounds of this old (1920's) hotel are beautiful - lovely landscaping, manicured lawn, very nice pool. The dining room is also excellent and the outdoor "bar" area is a wonderful place for lunch or a more informal dinner. Al in all, the entire place makes one feel pampered!

Area recommendations
The area near the university is very pleasant - the Arizona Inn is very near the Medical School and apparently many guest lecturers, etc. stay at the Inn.
Traveler's tip
The Desert Museum outside of Tucson is wonderful - small animals, a humminbird (!) exhibit, nice small hikes throught the surrounding landscape.
