The convenient location Downtown means it can be noisy, so make sure you don't get a room over the popular Club Congress unless you plan to be up until the wee hours.
Travel + Leisure "This refurbished 1919 hotel built for passengers of the Southern Pacific Line has basic rooms but an unbeatable downtown location." Full review

"Central, bohemian hotel, a short walk from Amtrak and Greyhound, with vintage Art Deco furnishings."
Gayot "This is urban tourism, Tucson-style, at its most bohemian and funky, a classic experience."
Atlas Obscura "Sleep where gangsters fell amidst smoke and flame, with nary a bullethole to show for the legendary struggle. " 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

Be sure to ask the concierge when local musicians will be on stage.

Condé Nast Traveler "Nestled in the foothills of the glorious Santa Catalina mountains, Ventana Canyon serves up wildlife, waterfalls, and for those preferring more manicured nature: two Fazio-designed golf courses." Full review

Frommer's "With two fabled desert-style golf courses out the front door and a national forest trail out the back, this luxurious resort is a great choice for both golfers and hikers" Full review
