Fodor's Expert Review Arizona Inn

2200 E. Elm St., Tucson, Arizona, 85719, USA Fodor's Choice

Although near the university and many sights, the beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens of this 1930 inn seem far from the hustle and bustle. The spacious rooms are spread over 14 acres in pink adobe-style casitas—most have private patios and some have fireplaces. The resort also has two luxurious detached houses, one with its own heated pool, and full hotel service. The main building has a library (high tea is served here November to March), a fine-dining restaurant, and a cocktail lounge where a jazz pianist plays.
