Tucson Boutique Hotels
A $15 million dollar expansion and renovation of Lodge on the Desert facilities commenced late 2007 and is scheduled to conclude mid 2009. A grand and brand new authentic Hacienda awaits guest arrivals and houses front desk/check in, comfortable living room and library areas to gather or relax, as well as a small conference board room. The complete re-orientation of the Lodge grounds includes the new pool and lawn areas . . . focal outdoor points to complement the Hacienda. In addition to the total redesign and makeover of the existing 35 historic guest rooms and suites, Lodge accommodations overall will grow to 99 units, including 13 suites. Among the many new guest room amenities are plush Simmons® Beautyrest Black™ Beverly Hills™ Plush memory foam bed with luxurious linens and ceiling fans. With the addition of a full-service destination spa featuring four treatment rooms, the "new" Lodge on the Desert will be a traditional yet fresh Old Pueblo mid-town masterpiece. Even the restaurant and bar, retaining both indoor and superb patio seating, are undergoing a total renovation -- rendering them fresh and uniquely appealing. Meeting and event facilities, both indoors and out, will blossom to over 5,700 square feet. Prior traditional event venues have been restored; newer, more contemporary venues added.
