Known for astonishing desert landscapes and more than 300 days of sunshine annually, Tucson has been a resort destination offering an array of outdoor adventure and upscale amenities for decades; but, there is so much more to Arizona’s second-largest city.
Accommodations: Tucson offers a wide variety of accommodations for groups, including recognized brands like Marriott, Westin, and Omni, as well as luxurious and historical hotels and resorts, such as Hacienda Del Sol Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and the Arizona Inn.
As the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States, Tucson has a food scene dating back hundreds of years. Even today, chefs are creating culinary masterpieces using the same ingredients indigenous to the Sonoran Desert as used hundreds of years ago.
Dark-Sky City: The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Tucson has more than 300 cloudless days a year and a very dry, dark sky. Light pollution restrictions throughout the city ensure the night sky is very visible. Groups can take advantage of Tucson’s dark sky by including stargazing as part of their opening reception.
Tucson is a vibrant art city. With performing arts theaters, contemporary galleries, museums, and music festivals throughout the city, Tucson offers 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. These two areas connect with a modern streetcar, making downtown Tucson a favorite for groups that prefer dining options right outside their door. These new hotel options are a perfect complement to the Tucson Convention Center, which has more than 233,000 square feet of meeting space and three performance venues.
