We loved the casita-style rooms, with their retro 1940s style furnishings, tile and hardwood floors and private patios that evoke a by-gone era. The Inn's attentive service is a hallmark of the Greenway family, who have continually owned and operated the Arizona Inn since its opening in 1930.

Have you ever wanted to live like you were in a Dashiell Hammet mystery novel? This historic hotel in Arizona might just fulfill that fantasy. Built in 1919 and set in the heart of Tucson's revitalized downtown, the Hotel Congress is a hip, happening and inexpensive lodging.

The 40 old fashioned rooms are all on the second floor and offer a vintage experience with antique iron beds, old time radios and reading lamps but no TV. Retro style phones actually connect to a switchboard at the front desk! Fans of the paranormal may encounter one of three ghosts said to inhabit the hotel. Light sleepers should note that below is the Club Congress, perhaps Tucson’s hippest and most popular nightclub, showcasing local musical talent. Don't miss the wonderful Cup Café, one of our favorite Tucson eateries, which serves delicious Southwestern and American bistro fare, too-die-for desserts and has a floor studded with pennies.
