"The upper-middle-range Lodge on the Desert is a unique slice of Tucson, with a 75-plus-year history and an updated look that gives its historic rooms a modern feel." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms in this gracefully aging 1930s resort are in hacienda-style casitas flanked by cacti and palm trees, and decorated in charmingly modern Southwest style." Full review
Rough Guide "1930s adobe resort a couple of miles east of downtown, tastefully restored to resemble a Mexican hacienda, with large, comfortable rooms and a good restaurant."
Gayot "Mature palm trees tower over the swimming pool, and there are lovely views of the Catalina Mountains off to the north."
Jetsetter "Hacienda-style digs in historic Tucson with a pool, desert gardens and modern American eats." Full review
Frommer's "The relaxing retreat looks a bit like a Mexican village, with narrow pathways winding between buildings. Guest rooms are in both hacienda-style adobe buildings, tucked amid cacti and orange trees." Full review

"The Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is located right at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains, and the views are terrific." Full review
Rough Guide "Grand red-brick resort, reaching majestically across a hundred acres at the foot of the Santa Catalina mountains northeast of the city, with its own on-site waterfall."
Gayot "This resort is just five minutes by foot from trails leading into the untouched wilderness of Ventana Canyon."
Travel + Leisure "Enveloped by the Santa Catalina Mountains and backed by a waterfall, the 371-room Loews is a serene spot where, paradoxically, there's plenty to do." Full review
Jetsetter "This Arizona hideaway beckons hikers, bikers and horse riders, but don't confuse it with a dude ranch. Ventana delivers sophistication with its art collection." Full review
