When people think of Tucson, they often think of crystal blue skies, warm weather, mountains in every direction, and, of course, the giant Saguaro Cactus. There is so much more to Arizona’s second-largest city.
Accommodations for your groups in Tucson include a wide variety of brands you know and trust, like Marriott, Westin, and Omni, as well as luxurious and historical boutique hotels and resorts, such as Hacienda Del Sol and Arizona Inn.
As the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States, Tucson has a food scene that dates back hundreds of years. To this day, chefs are creating culinary masterpieces using the same ingredients indigenous to the Sonoran Desert that were used hundreds of years ago.
Dark Sky City: The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Tucson has a very dry, dark sky and more than 300 cloudless days a year. Light-pollution restrictions throughout the city ensure the night sky is very visible. Groups can take advantage of this by offering stargazing at their opening reception.
Tucson is a vibrant Arts City: Filled with performing-arts theaters, contemporary galleries, museums, and music festivals, Tucson delivers a thriving arts scene. Restored Art Deco theaters, such as Fox Tucson and The Rialto, draw world-class entertainers and entertainment.
Tucson boasts a lively walkable downtown with more than 600 new hotel rooms in its downtown and university districts. The two areas connect with a modern streetcar, making downtown Tucson a favorite for groups who prefer dining options right outside their door. These new hotel options are a perfect complement to Tucson Convention Center, which has more than 233,000 square feet of meeting space and three performance venues.
Embrace your inner cacti and enjoy a glimpse of what Tucson has to offer for groups. Incredible weather, history, and culture are only the beginning.
