The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain
"At The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, you'll feel like you've stepped into the wild, wild, west—just 30 minutes from downtown Tucson. At this sanctuary surrounded by the Sonoran Desert, rich red sunsets are built into the framework, casting a dusky glow on everything and everyone. The resort’s 253 suites have exceptional vistas of many notable sights, including the Tortolita Foothills, Wild Burro Canyon, and, of course, Dove Mountain. The décor takes its cue from the scenery, with burnt orange hues and Native American patterns expressed in the linens and artwork, and flagstone and quartzite lining the floors. There’s also a destination spa with eco-holistic therapies like the Desert Gemstone Ritual (amethyst and citrine stones to help heal sore muscles and increase energy flow) and five—yes, five—excellent restaurants. We recommend Ignite, just off the lobby, where stunning views and fire pits abound, not to mention the weekend Sushi Bar, where a sommelier will pair your sashimi with a perfect sake. We’ll warn you: You risk a birdie at the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, which sits against a majestic mountain backdrop that might make you forget about that par (well, maybe)."
