  • Arizona Inn continues its traditions

    “Located close to the University of Arizona on a quiet side street is the iconic Arizona Inn, built in the 1930’s occupying an entire city block (walled grounds). It was owned and operated by a single family until 2025 when it was acquired by a local group of investors that includes Steve Kerr a former Arizona wildcat standout and current coach of the NBA Gloden State Warriors. The good news is they are dedicated to keeping the Inn’s unique features intact while undertaking some important upgrades. This is our ~ 10th visit over a twenty-year period always in the summer when there are fewer guests and lower prices. To date our stays have never been a disappointment. The support staff consists of a number of local students and is impressive in their understanding that the clientele appreciates attentive but not obsequious service. During this stay the Inn was under renovation, but the accommodations made were most acceptable. The main dining menu which has been a historical highlight was operating with simplified but tasty offerings. Sadly, the lounge and piano bar (a favorite) were under full renovation so no lounge lizard activities were available. The NY Times is delivered and available daily with your morning coffee. The pool area was unchanged, pool side service available starting at 1000h. The gym has been expanded and upgraded. The beds/pillows and room are extremely comfortable, the rooms highly soundproof for an excellent night’s sleep. A throwback to another era is that suites have a full-sized bathtub and shower combination. The high-speed internet performs flawlessly. Coffee is available starting at 0600h…breakfast at 0730h. Free parking is available across the street from the Inn.”

  • Great property! I would definitely stay here again, unless there was construction going on.
