Make the Most of Your Tucson Stay

A desert city with depth

Tucson earns its distinction as America's first UNESCO City of Gastronomy, where 4,000 years of agricultural tradition inform a culinary scene that extends far beyond expectations. The Sonoran Desert landscape shapes everything here, from the distinctive adobe architecture of Barrio Viejo to the giant saguaro forests in the national park. Spanish Colonial heritage remains visible at Mission San Xavier del Bac, while the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum presents the region's ecology through naturalistic exhibits that feel more like exploration than education.

Business and leisure balance

The Catalina Foothills district delivers resort experiences and championship golf with mountain views, while downtown's revitalized core connects via the fare-free Sun Link streetcar to the University district and Mercado San Agustin. The city's laid-back atmosphere contrasts with Phoenix's pace, offering business travelers a more relaxed environment. Tucson's position makes day trips accessible to Sonoita wine country, historic Bisbee, or Mount Lemmon's cool forests.

Planning your visit

While the streetcar serves downtown efficiently, a rental car unlocks the region's full appeal, from Sabino Canyon's desert waterfalls to Kartchner Caverns. The airport sits just 8 miles from downtown. Members can apply miles toward accommodations in the Foothills or historic districts to experience both sophisticated resort culture and authentic Southwestern character.
