The Hermosa Inn - A secluded AAA Four-Diamond boutique hotel with historic casitas, award-winning dining, and Camelback Mountain views

Nestled in Paradise Valley's foothills, The Hermosa Inn originated as cowboy artist Lon Megargee's private 1930s retreat. This Phoenix hotel features 43 hacienda-style casitas amid lush gardens with bougainvillea-lined pathways and adobe architecture. The property's centerpiece, LON's restaurant, serves globally-inspired Arizona cuisine with a 700-label wine collection in settings including a candlelit wine cellar and outdoor fireside tables. Guest accommodations range from 350-square-foot Rancho rooms to 750-square-foot Grande Casitas with antique pedestal tubs and private patios. Five outdoor fireplaces accent the expanded bar patio at LON's Last Drop, which offers craft cocktails and wood-fired dishes. Located 9.5 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, The Hermosa Inn provides a fitness center and hosts regular culinary events including interactive cooking classes and seasonal harvest dinners.

Pros

Historic adobe architecture featuring original Lon Megargee artwork throughout

Candlelit wine cellar with 1890s Chicago brick hosts private dinners for up to 12 guests

Intimate garden venue accommodates events for up to 60 guests with desert landscaping and water features

Five outdoor fireplaces and expanded bar patio create multiple outdoor dining spaces

Cons

9.5 miles distance from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport requires transportation planning

Limited on-site recreational facilities compared to larger resorts

“The Hermosa Inn presents itself as a boutique desert hideaway, and it delivers. Its meticulous grounds cultivate a romantic atmosphere, enhanced by dining under the stars. I especially appreciate how the inn's architecture blends Southwestern charm with contemporary comforts, offering a uniquely luxurious experience with subtle details.”
