The Hermosa Inn

We have been venturing to phoenix 1-2 times in Jan/Feb for the past dozen or more years and have tended to sample all sorts of luxury properties. For this years long weekend we opted to return to this beautiful boutique property after a 4-year hiatus. After revisiting (and being blessed with mild 75 and sunny weather this year), my nomadic ways may be at an end. Our 3/ night stay in room 150 was superb. We continue to love the spacious room, huge shower, gas fireplace and large comfortable leather easy chairs. I’m please to report there is ample bedside power (my note from the previous review) but sadly still the same crummy shower head. This place is an oasis of tranquility with lush colorful grounds, and a fantastic on site restaurant that attracts a big crowd most every night. For our most recent visit I called to let them know my wife would be arriving early and they somehow were able to work out an early check-in which really helped us out ! Thanks Deanne! When we start planning our visit for next January-the Hermosa will be at the top of my list.

A lovely resort with everything we wanted. Lon’s is an amazing restaurant for brunch, dinner and everything in between. The team was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our room was, as always, wonderful (clean, comfortable, spacious) and the grounds are beautiful. BUT...the robes are small, lightweight, not at all luxurious, and there was only warm (bordering on tepid) water in the shower. My husband had also pre-ordered champagne to be left in the room, and they had "no record of it" (though they did deliver that fairly quickly). It seems for the price Hermosa Inn could at least invest in better robes and an improved water-heating system.

Everything was so peaceful and comfortable. The benches everywhere, the serenity, the understated luxury all added up to a lovely stay. We couldn’t see another building or hear a single car, which was remarkable considering the location near business centers.

The Hermosa Inn is a boutique property in a pretty town east of Phoenix. There are groups of 2-4 casitas spaced out around a beautifully landscaped, peaceful garden. I'd recommend asking for room that is not at the rear of the property near the parking lot. While the convenience to the parking lot is nice you may want something more secluded. The casita/room itself was charming with the special touches that only a boutique property offers (e.g., wood beams in the ceiling and beautiful wide plank wood floors). The bedding could use an upgrade, in my opinion though, to make it more luxurious and comfortable. In terms of dining options, the pub has lovely outdoor seating options in an inviting garden. And outdoor seating is also available at breakfast. One note, I wish that there were smaller breakfast portions available on the weekend rather than a full brunch. Overall, the Hermosa Inn is worth a look if you plan to stay in the area.
