"When shopping for a hotel with charm, great service and off the beaten path Arizona Inn exceeded expectations. Having read reviews from other guests I felt this was the place for our one night stay in Tucson. Rich in history and in a great location that felt remote we enjoyed the stay. X, the door man is to be rated above the top rating of 5. "
Definitely would go back

My family and I stayed at the Arizona Inn for the weekend while visiting relatives in Tucson. The location is great - about equidistant from downtown and the foothills area - with a residential feel. We loved the well-kept grounds, huge room and bath, patio area, and amenities. The place has a charming feel to it, but with the amenities of a modern hotel. The food was good, but not great.
"The Weather was hot, but the hotel is COOL!"

The setting of the Arizona Inn is everything they say. The service is outstanding as well. They upgraded us to a suite, which had a sitting room, two entrances and two patios. The buildings have character, but are well kept, and the grounds are beautiful. The staff was friendly and more than willing to help in any way possible. They gave you privacy as well. The weather was hot, but we were comfortable in the pool and our suite. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. For a romantic and nostalgic getaway, I reccommend you try it.

We stayed here for one night only...Christmas Eve. I must say I would love to make that an annual tradition! There was a complimentary social hour before dinner which was so elegant. The owner, whose grandmother''s family originally built the hotel in 1930, was there mingling with the guests. She was also right there on Christmas morning making sure things were running smoothly.
The grounds are unique and gorgeous. Our room was spacious and filled with original furnishings and beautiful Audubon prints on the walls. The service is A++. The only bad part was our stay was too short. It is a special place to celebrate a special occasion.

Every summer we go to Tucson and bask in the luxury of the Arizona Inn. We usually plan three days of doing nothing surrounded by impeccable gardens, manicured lawns, fabulous food, and quiet.
The Inn consists of several buildings set amid gardens and trees behind a high adobe wall. The rooms are all generous and the closets speak of days when guests arrived with steamer trunks. The furniture ranges from antiques to the heavy, carved furniture made in the 30’s in the inn’s own furniture factory. Most rooms have a private balcony or an enclosed patio and the focus is on privacy. A lot of rich and famous come here and they have a policy to never, ever tell who is staying there.
If you’re in the mood, there is table tennis and real tennis, a gorgeous pool, endless gardens (they have 14 acres and 6 full time gardeners) library bigger than my house where you can sit and read, or borrow a book to take back to your room, and a gift shop of interesting trinkets. The concierge, or even the bellboy, will answer all your questions and if they don’t have the answer, they will find it.
If you are looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this is it.
In winter, regular guests (many the great-grandchildren or the original guests who came here in the 30’s, friends of founder Isabella Greenway) book their favorite rooms from year to year, so getting a reservation is hard. Not that you should show up in summer without one. Summer rates are also considerably lower and they often have packages that include things like breakfast and evening ice cream by the pool.
