Fodor's Expert Review Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort

5501 N. Hacienda Del Sol Rd., Tucson, Arizona, 85718, USA

This 32-acre hideaway in the Santa Catalina Foothills is a charming and more intimate alternative to the larger resorts, combining luxury with Southwestern character. Designed in classic Mexican hacienda style, this former finishing school for girls was converted to a guest ranch during World War II and attracted stars like Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy. Hacienda rooms and casitas, with fireplaces and private porches afford sunset views; newer Catalina rooms boast views of the mountains and city lights.
