Upon arriving at The Armory Park Inn in Tucson, Arizona, guests are welcomed by its charming Southwestern adobe exterior and desert landscaping. The elegant interior offers high-ceilinged spaces accented by wrought-iron details, beautiful art and a welcoming expansive yet private outdoor patio. You are embraced with an ambiance of peacefulness—a lovely step into “heaven on earth”—right in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. The staff’s genuine love for their work shows at every turn: owner Amy, an eighth-generation Tucsonan, personally called before our stay to confirm our reservation and share wonderful sites to see around the city. Dora greeted us with open arms, instantly making us feel at home as she poured her passion into every detail, especially her first-rate, scratch-made breakfasts whose scones alone make life feel complete. Jenee, who helps care for the property, echoes this warmth by affirming the magical oasis they’ve cultivated in this desert paradise. Five solid gold stars for The Armory Park Inn--a lovely gem in the desert!
