Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Hacienda Del Sol first opened its doors in 1929 to serve as an away camp for the daughters of elite families.

A little over a decade later, it was converted into a ranch resort whose guestlist saw such notable Silver Screen actors as John Wayne, Clark Gable, and—allegedly—Katharine Hepburn.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the resort imbues a timeless charm with its classic Southwestern elegance.

Adobe buildings open up onto sprawling courtyards filled with the vibrant flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert. Just outside your door, the landscape is bursting with life in the form of colorful flowers, majestic Saguaros, and other native plants.
In order from least to most luxurious, accommodations include rooms, suites, and casitas.

Resort amenities like flat-screen TVs, plush robes, and complimentary tea and coffee are standard; the suites and casitas just go the extra mile with added seclusion and bonus features such as outdoor showers and fireplaces. You can even book the very same casita where Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn stayed!
When you aren't enjoying some good old-fashioned R&R, get out and explore the grounds.

Between the botanical gardens, artwork that perfectly compliments the rugged beauty of the desert, and a gift shop with all sorts of treasures, there's plenty to do. Hop in the pool or jacuzzi for a refreshing swim sure to leave your body, mind, and spirit feeling anew.
Two onsite fine dining restaurants ensure every meal you eat here is among the best of your life.

One is a grill; the other a garden patio, but they share an important commonality: innovative flavors and fresh ingredients from the resort's very own organic gardens. From light bites to succulent steaks to award-winning wines, there's something for everyone.
If you're in need of some hardcore pampering, head to the spa for a world-class treatment.
