Arizona Inn's story began with Isabella Greenway: Arizona’s first congresswoman, a pioneering entrepreneur and a woman with a remarkable vision for hospitality. In 1929, Ms. Greenway established the Arizona Hut, a furniture workshop that created meaningful employment for disabled World War I veterans. A year later, during the depths of the Great Depression, she opened Arizona Inn, in part to create demand for her Hut's craftsmanship while offering travelers a gracious desert sanctuary.
On December 18, 1930, Arizona Inn welcomed its first guests. More than nine decades later, the Inn remains one of Tucson's most enduring landmarks - a place defined by historic architecture, lush gardens, warm hospitality and an unmistakable sense of place.
95+ Years. Countless Stays. Even More Stories.
And yours is part of that history.
Maybe you spent your honeymoon here. Perhaps your family returned year after year, your children learned to swim in the pool, or the Inn became part of your University of Arizona traditions. Maybe it was a wedding, an anniversary, a holiday gathering - or simply a quiet afternoon beneath the palms that you've never forgotten.
Whatever brought you to Arizona Inn, we'd love to hear the memory that stayed with you - and see the photo(s) or video(s) that bring it to life. Share your favorite Arizona Inn story along with a photo or video from your visit for a chance to return and make a few new memories of your own.
