An artist's hideaway in Paradise Valley.
Originally built in the 1930s as the personal adobe studio of cowboy artist Lon Megargee, The Hermosa Inn began as a quiet retreat before gradually evolving into one of Paradise Valley's most storied escapes. That creative spirit of the Old West still shapes the experience today, from the handcrafted architecture and Southwestern style to the lush gardens and desert grounds. In the distance, Camelback Mountain rises above the landscape, framing a property that continues to honor its artistic past.
Offering luxurious comfort with Southwestern charm.
By the 1940s, word quietly spread, and Megargee's studio became a hideaway for artists and Hollywood types drawn more to privacy than publicity. Over time, the property transitioned into a guest ranch before later evolving into the boutique inn it is today, without losing its sense of intimacy along the way. The original adobe walls, rough-hewn beams, and Megargee's artwork remain throughout, giving the property a lived-in character that feels less like a hotel and more like a place with stories to tell.
Intimate by design, welcoming by nature.
Each of the 43 casitas brings its own take on warm Southwestern style, with handcrafted mesquite furniture, private patios with garden or desert views, and thick adobe walls that help keep interiors naturally cool. Some also feature beehive fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, or antique clawfoot bathtubs. Beyond your casita, Blue Door Spa offers personalized massages while a sparkling outdoor pool with mountain views sits just steps away. A knowledgeable concierge is ready to map out desert adventures or tailor a custom itinerary, while valet parking makes coming and going refreshingly simple.
Dining at The Hermosa Inn centers around LON's, set inside Megargee's original adobe hacienda, where contemporary cuisine meets time-honored techniques like wood-grilling and smoking. Step outside to the expansive patio, where five outdoor fireplaces, a trickling fountain, and colorful flowerbeds create a space made for unhurried evenings. For something more casual, LON's Last Drop serves small plates and craft cocktails in a relaxed, inviting setting. The bar takes its name from Megargee's most famous painting, which still appears inside Stetson hats today.
Located in Paradise Valley, Arizona, about a 15-minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, downtown Phoenix, and downtown Scottsdale.
