A Tucson Motor Lodge, Reimagined

Just off I-10 in the shadow of Sentinel Peak, The Tuxon Hotel revives the golden age of the American road trip—minus the scratchy towels and stale coffee. We've rebuilt the classic motor lodge for modern travelers who value design, culture, and character over clichés.

Shady Cactus Swim Club

Our pool isn't just an amenity—it's Tucson's most photogenic poolside scene. Join us daily at 5:30 PM for the Shady Toast, frozen slushy shots, and that golden hour magic where travelers and locals mix effortlessly over chili-laced cocktails and Baja bites.

Downtown Tucson Hotel Location

Located near the Mercado District and minutes from the University of Arizona, The Tuxon offers easy access to downtown Tucson, 4th Avenue's indie shops, desert hiking trails, Sonoran hot dogs, and dive bars—by bike, foot, or streetcar. Complimentary bikes and free parking included. It's your basecamp for the authentic Tucson experience.

Desert-Modern Hotel Rooms

Our boutique guest rooms feature walk-in tile showers, Marshall Bluetooth speakers, curated local art, and beds designed for real rest. Smart, stylish, and unmistakably Tucson.

This isn't boutique hotel cosplay—it's the real deal. Wild desert. Urban edge. No wrong turns.
