Westward Look Resort
245 E. Ina Road
Tucson AZ 85704
Unlike other hotels in Tucson, The Westward Look Resort is set high in the foothills overlooking the city and warmed by an abundance of desert sunshine. The Westward Look Resort is a rejuvenating resort environment inspired by the beauty of its pristine natural surroundings and hacienda-style architecture.
Home to an amazing variety of birds, plants, and wildlife, this lush 80-acre oasis combines elegant suite-style accommodations found in luxury hotels, with incredible Tucson desert-inspired ambience. In addition, you won't find many hotels in Tucson that offer such awe-inspiring settings for productive business meetings. The newly renovated Westward Look Resort combines world-class facilities, gourmet dining, and luxurious spa treatments in a naturally beautiful background to create a relaxing and unpretentious atmosphere. Suite-sized accommodations offer spectacular views of the mountains, desert, or city. Stargazer Spa Rooms offer private outdoor hot tubs.
Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy on-site hiking, birding, horseback riding, and swimming, plus golf and mountain biking nearby. Dining is accented with native produce grown in the Chef's Garden. Healing spa therapies feature regional desert botanicals. Interpretive nature trails, a high-powered telescope for stargazing, and a hands-on nature museum and binoculars for watching wildlife enhance the enjoyment of this rare ecosystem.
