Full accommodation information

From 1920s girls’ finishing school to 1950s luxury bolthole for the stars, the Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort certainly boasts a colourful history!

Today, this luxury Arizona property offers sumptuous modern facilities yes, but with the same southwestern elegance that once attracted the likes of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, making Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort the real deal.

And it’s easy to see why, as on top of the service, style, décor and design of this top Arizona bolthole, you also have those captivating desert and city views at every turn.

Set on a hill with the Santa Catalina foothills to one side and the city of Tucson to the other, Hacienda Del Sol really does boast a spectacular outlook from every direction, and they know how to take advantage of it. From the large windows and terraces of the award-winning restaurant to the infinity-edge pool and private patios, the views of the surrounding landscape are breath-taking. Gardens full of cacti and desert blooms only add to the beauty and tranquillity of the setting.

With both the rough wilderness of the Sonoran Desert and the sights of Tucson on the doorstep, there is so much to see and do here. Whether you want to kick back and relax, get active in the great outdoors or live it up in the city, it’s all possible at Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort.

The authentic, bespoke interiors of the rooms, suites and casitas at Hacienda Del Sol provide a real sense of place to any stay here. Chunky, handcrafted wooden furniture, beamed high-ceilings, blazing fireplaces, hand-painted decorations, enormous rugs and colourful, Talavera-tiled bathrooms all evoke Arizona’s southwestern charm throughout. Plush, modern amenities including deluxe linens, super-soft bath robes, customised toiletries, a large flat-screen television, iPod docking station and in-room fridge then add that quality five-star touch to every Hacienda del Sol abode.

Formerly the dormitories of the original 1920’s boarding school, these rooms are filled with both history and character. Set around the old courtyard, they also afford verdant views of the botanical gardens too; delightful.
Hacienda Room

Deluxe Hacienda Room

Deluxe Hacienda Room

These rooms vary in size, ranging from 265 – 700sq ft, and have the advantage of a private patio looking out over the desert scenery; blissful at sunset.
Suite

Suite

Each suite is unique, with fabulous features such as wooden ceilings, beautifully-tiled bathrooms, roaring fireplaces for cold desert nights and private patios with panoramic vistas. They range in size from 700 – 1,000sq ft, which also allows for a cosy, separate living room.
Casita

Casita

Make yourself at home at the Hacienda Del Sol with a stay in a Casita. These gorgeous 1,100sq ft dwellings enjoy the addition of a small kitchen, private patio and car parking space as well as an inviting living room with fireplace.
Catalina Suite

Catalina Suite

As the name suggests, this 1,100sq ft suite enjoys spectacular views of the Santa Catalina Mountain Range from its private patios. There is also a large lounging area and dining room here, as well as two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Tracy-Hepburn Casita Grande

Tracy-Hepburn Casita Grande

Holiday like a movie star with a lavish stay in the Casita Grande, a 2,000sq ft, secluded residence comprising two bedrooms, a living room with fireplace, a kitchen and two patios with views out towards the desert.

Relax into your stay with a spa treatment, which can be enjoyed either in your own room or private patio. Swedish, hot stone and deep-tissue massages ease muscles while almost edible pear and apple or chocolate truffle body wraps nourish the skin. Take the time to really absorb the views from either one of the two sun-drenched pools. Both feature a jacuzzi while the Catalina pool near Terraza has an infinity edge and firepit, to take the chill off those desert evenings as you enjoy a spot of stargazing. When all the lazing around gets a little too much however, you can still continue to admire the views from the 24-hour gym and before heading home – don’t forget to take a peek inside the gift shop, selling all manner of locally made trinkets and treasures.

The Grill

The Grill

Whatever the time of day, from breakfast as the first rays of sunshine hit the mountain tops through to dinner against the twinkling backdrop of Tucson City below, the extraordinary desert and city views from The Grill restaurant will never fail to impress. Nor will the contemporary American cuisine, which uses local Tucson produce including vegetables and herbs from the resort’s own garden, accompanied by a seemingly endless wine list! And as if the atmosphere wasn’t romantic enough, local musicians perform on the patio in the evenings from Tuesday through to Sunday.

There’s really no need to step beyond the stunning surroundings of Hacienda Del Sol once here. The first-rate restaurants, beautiful pools, sun-kissed patios and lush botanical gardens filled with fascinating pieces of artwork will entrance you – yet the views are a constant call to explore. Those lured by the mountain vistas can head out on horseback into the unknown; saddle up at the hacienda’s stables, which offer guided horse treks as well as group and private lessons. If you prefer to stay on your own two feet then choose from easy walks around the hacienda’s 34 acres or more challenging trails beyond, into the Santa Catalina foothills. Or, it might be the bright lights of Tucson that beckon. If so, upscale shopping malls, fine art galleries and fascinating museums abound, all just a short drive away, or take advantage of the hacienda’s bike rental that includes a map, rucksack, helmet and bottle of water.
