Arizona Inn

After several years we decided to make a return visit to Tucson as part of our motorcycle journey. We booked three nights in the Arizona Inn and our visit was absolutely fabulous. It was a couple weeks before large crowds returned with the startup of the University so we nearly had the entire place to ourselves except for a few other guests. We ate several meals in the restaurant and in the bar area and had delicious meals and outstanding service by the the wait staff team. They had fresh coffee in the library in the morning available for guests, the rooms were comfortable, the staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. This is a time-honored Traditions Hotel that we highly recommend if you're ever in the Tucson area for a visit. They have tennis courts and a swimming pool as well as laundry service. You will be glad that you stayed!

I have stayed at the Arizona Inn many times over the years and love its old world charm, beautifully landscaped desert gardens. But after Covid the management changed, and the hotel no longer offers room service. I hear it’s up for sale and it’ll be interesting to see what the new owners do. I had only one unfortunate incident but a major one. My mother died a few years ago and I was in town to sort her estate. I’d asked the manager Patrick to FedEx a box of personal items mainly clothing to an address in Delaware. The box arrived but minus an old silver buckle belt, a shirt, and a few pairs of jeans. I tried reaching out to Patrick via phone and email and never received a reply.

My husband and I just spent three nights at this wonderful hotel. Almost 100 years old, it has old world charm while being nicely updated. It is quiet and peaceful, and the grounds are lovely. This is the perfect place to stay while enjoying Tucson’s desert landscape.

An absolutely unenjoyable experience in the Audubon Bar & Patio. The piano playing was far too loud for background music. BUT, when we asked our server to request quieter music we were met with the excuse that she had asked him numerous times and he refused to play quieter. Our meal experience was ruined by the music. Only go if you are on the verge of divorce and you do not want to speak to anyone.

We could not have been happier at the Arizona Inn. It added to our visit to Tucson in so many ways. The service was warm, hospitable and efficient. We enjoyed relaxing in the library with the freshly lit fire and the unmatched afternoon tea - Especially with the unexpected chilly weather. We never worried about our car because of the security truck that circled. Each day when we would return a lovely gentleman would open the door and greet us. The Audubon Bar was always a delight - breakfast or otherwise. We were advised to get a room with a patio. Perhaps not as important in winter. The suite we had was very spacious , private and very comfortable. We booked on their website which was great advice for the add-ons. I can’t imagine why anyone would stay anywhere else in Tucson. It’s one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in globally without being large and pretentious. Look at all of my reviews - the Arizona Inn is just perfect!
