The Venue
The Arizona Inn is a historic, luxury boutique Tucson resort hotel spread over 14 tranquil acres of gardens, fountains, flowers and lawns in the heart of mid-town Tucson, AZ. Our luxury boutique resort hotel has been continually owned and operated by the same family since its inception under the careful eye of its founder, Isabella Greenway, in 1930, and its casita-style hotel rooms and suites have been robustly maintained and restored ever since, keeping their original warmth, privacy, comfort and charm while gaining all the modern day resort amenities a Tucson guest might desire.
