Just off I-10 and minutes from downtown Tucson, The Tuxon puts you steps from the Mercado District, 4th Avenue, and the University of Arizona. Explore indie shops, Sonoran street food, art walks, and dive bars—then return to your desert-modern hideaway in the middle of it all.

Our boutique rooms blend desert-modern style with motor lodge soul. Expect walk-in tile showers, Marshall Bluetooth speakers, curated Tucson art, and beds that actually deliver on sleep. Smart and stylish, they reflect the city around them—bold, warm, and full of character.

From Friday DJ sets and vinyl nights to trivia, pop-ups, and seasonal programming, the energy never drops at Shady Cactus. Our curated weekly lineup keeps the vibe fresh and social—perfect for golden hour cocktails, poolside hangs, or making new friends under the desert sky.

Basecamp for your next Tucson adventure. Whether you're hiking in Saguaro National Park, biking the Chuck Huckelberry Loop, or exploring Mission Garden and Tumamoc Hill, The Tuxon keeps you close to the wild while walking distance from markets, shops, and streetcar stops.

Start your day with complimentary La Colombe coffee and a locally sourced breakfast available for purchase—served in the lobby or poolside under the morning sun. Whether you’re gearing up for a hike or easing into the day with pastries and playlists, mornings at The Tuxon are low-key, flavorful, and made for golden light.
