A true Southwest original with kiva fireplaces, hacienda style décor, and native desert landscaping.

What it's like

Rooms have the flavor of the Southwest, with partially tiled floors, exposed beams, ceiling fans, and local art adorning the walls. Many rooms have balconies with views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Lodge On The Desert’s grounds are landscaped with indigenous cacti, palms, and flowers, and the lounge area by the pool is complete with a fireplace and hot tub.
