"Built in the 1930s by artist Lon Megargee as a one-bedroom studio and later opened as a guest ranch, this property wears its artistic history on its sleeve: original Megargee artwork decorates the walls and the on-site bar pays tribute to the founder. The hotel offers 43 hacienda-style casitas with Southwestern flair, some featuring indoor fireplaces and private patios, plus a self-guided art walk and an on-site Blue Door spa suite. Guests appreciate the property's intimate, historic charm and unique ambiance, and many highlight its convenient access to nearby dining, shopping, and hiking — Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak are roughly five minutes away — with bikes available to explore Paradise Valley and Arcadia." - Travel + Leisure Editors
