At a glance

Hacienda del Sol is a historic guest-ranch resort in the Catalina Foothills above Tucson, Arizona.

The property opened in 1929, first as a ranch school, later a desert hideaway for the likes of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. It covers 34 acres of Sonoran Desert and gardens at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains. 59 rooms, suites, and casitas in original adobe, with hand-carved beams and Talavera tile.

Dining is a strength. The Grill is a AAA Four Diamond restaurant with Southwest-leaning New American cooking, mountain views, and an 800-bottle wine list, and the Terraza Garden Patio is the casual option. A full-service spa, three outdoor pools, hot tubs, and a fitness centre cover the wellness side. Pet-friendly, with a strong wedding following. Tucson airport is about 25 minutes away, with the Catalinas for hiking and riding behind.

In detail

Food and Drink

Dining is one of the resort’s strengths. The Grill is the headline room, a AAA Four Diamond restaurant serving Southwest-influenced New American cooking, much of it from the resort’s own gardens, with mountain views, nightly piano, and a wine list of more than 800 bottles.

The Terraza Garden Patio and Lounge is the relaxed alternative, with casual plates and live music out on the patio. Both lean on the desert setting.
Spa and Wellness

The spa is a full-service one, with massages, hot-stone treatments, facials, body scrubs, and aromatherapy, with in-room and in-casita treatments available.

Three outdoor pools across the gardens hold mountain views, alongside hot tubs and a 24-hour fitness centre. Complimentary yoga is held on Sunday mornings, with the desert and Catalina foothills doing the rest, with trails leading straight off the property.
Activities

As a former guest ranch, Hacienda del Sol still leans into the outdoors. Horseback riding into the Sonoran Desert is the signature, booked through the on-site stables, with hiking and biking trails climbing straight into the Santa Catalina Mountains from the grounds.

Closer to home, there are the three pools, an art collection scattered through the gardens, and Sunday yoga. Tucson’s galleries, shopping at La Encantada, and Saguaro National Park are all a short drive.
