Arizona Inn - Top 10 Tucson Inns and B&Bs

While the Arizona Inn has all the amenities of a boutique hotel, bronzed gates open to reveal a lovely Tucson inn surrounded by cacti, overflowing fountains and blooming gardens. Built during – and in many ways, in the spirit of – the Great Depression, the Arizona Inn’s classic charm has been lovingly maintained, with a few modern updates in all the right places. Casita-style rooms and suites open to private patios shaded by vibrant blue awnings, while the cacti-strewn courtyards give way to a border of towering palm trees.

But it’s the inn’s pool that serves as your proverbial oasis in the Arizona desert. A lush, manicured lawn takes the place of traditional concrete, adding a much-needed splash of color to the Tucson desert landscape. White lounge chairs topped with plush cushions in a sunny yellow hue invite you to relax and recline with a drink in hand. And inside the Arizona Inn’s award-wining dining room, breakfast features creative dishes inspired by the local culture and terrain, including blue corn pancakes smothered in prickly pear syrup.
