Hermosa Inn

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.
