Lodge on the Desert

History and charm epitomize Lodge on the Desert. Originally designed as a private residence, the Lodge opened for business with seven guest rooms in November, 1936.
Today the 103-room boutique hotel remains an Arizona landmark and a Tucson tradition, renowned for its intimate residential setting and genial hospitality. Here, secluded pathways meander amongst regal palms, native cacti and manicured lawns wrapped in ribbons of seasonal flowers. Charming hacienda-style accommodations afford guests a sanctuary in which to retreat and relax. With its more than 3,800 square feet of interior event space and 6,300 square feet of exterior event space, Lodge on the Desert is also popular for small meetings and social events. Its mid-town location is convenient to Tucson International Airport, The University of Arizona and University Medical Center, eclectic shopping, major attractions and a full range of recreational pursuits.
