Hotel review

Set in the 1930s home and studio of eccentric cowboy artist Lon Megargee, this boutique hideaway is perfect for an escape from busy Phoenix and Scottsdale. Located on a quiet residential street a short drive from Camelback Mountain, the hotel offers beautifully appointed rooms and private casitas perfect for a romantic getaway. With great nature spots close by, this hotel also hits the mark for active holidaymakers. The heritage adobe property sits within six acres of verdant gardens, adding a secluded feel to the hotel. Inside, Southwestern style reigns, with exposed adobe walls, wooden beams and handpainted Mexican tiles. Beehive fireplaces and indigenous textiles add a welcoming and cosy feel to the elegant rooms. Book a casita for added privacy and enjoy views over the gardens from your own porch. The weather is a big attraction for Arizona holidays since the desert sun offers the perfect conditions for relaxing by a pool; you can warm up in the evenings with a dip in the hot tub. The hotel also boasts an internationally acclaimed restaurant, LON. The alfresco dining comprises tables on a relaxed terrace with outdoor fireplaces adding atmosphere. There is a priority on Southwestern techniques in cooking here, from smoking to wood-grilling. Be sure to ask for a pairing from the hotel's extensive wine cellar. A sophisticated boutique bolt-hole, perfect for a romantic hideaway holiday.

Hermosa Inn

This historic boutique hotel was built by flamboyant cowboy artist Lon Megargee in the 1930s as his home and studio. Today, Casa Hermosa is an intimate hideaway oozing with romance and southwest vibe. It’s tucked away in six acres of lush gardens, where stone pathways lead through desert plants to the private casitas.

Hermosa Inn

Famed artist Lon Megargee created the Hermosa Inn in the 1930s as an escape for his friends before opening its doors to outside guests. Today, the Paradise Valley resort and its 43 hacienda-style casitas attract both vacationers on the hunt for peace and quiet, and foodies, too.
