Come Stay out West in Vintage Luxury!! (1of4)

Welcome to my Tuesday blog entry!

This will be the first of four entries that I have complied to showcase places to stay in Tucson Arizona, that are boasting with Southwest Vintage charm, History and Luxury. So pack your bags and head out West! Your peek into Vintage Tucson is waiting........

The first one on my list is definatley the beautiful Arizona Inn. Built in 1930 by Isabella Greenway (Arizona's first Congresswomen). The Arizona Inn is known for it's lovely 1930's Vintage Arizona charm, glamour and Old Hollywood Star worthy treatment. You will be surrounded by Vintage Spanish Architecture and decor, as well as 14 acres of lush gardens, tranquil fountains, and an impeccably maintained lawn. For a moment you feel like you have stepped into the walls of a past era of glamour and grace.

Flourishing with both serenity and Western elegance. The Arizona Inn is best remembered for a little luxurious relaxation, History and privacy in the Arizona sunshine. The Arizona Inn is also proud to be on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988. Known for it's period significance between 1925 and 1949. The Chicago Tribune has called the Arizona Inn; "The Great Dame of Tucson Hotels, simply the Best Place in Town!" It has also been said that many Old Hollywood Gents and Dames themselves, have enjoyed soaking up the peaceful Southwest while staying at The Arizona Inn; to include the company of Bogie and Bing! (Humphrey Bogart & Bing Crosby) It is a must while you are headed out West to pay a visit to this amazing and charming oasis! Here are a few pictures just to give you an idea of the lovely Southwest Vintage charm that awaits your stay! I myself have had the privilege of staying at the Arizona Inn a few times. I have also included a few pictures of my moments pretending I took a step back into that glamorous and gracious time!
