Spacious Suites with Mountain Views Close to Downtown Tucson

At midday, with the sun beating down and the giant cacti thrown into relief against a blue sky, Tucson can still feel a lot like a sleepy desert outpost in some Hollywood Western. Fortunately, the Radisson Suites Tucson stands as a kind of oasis—a cool, modern refuge where you can relax in air conditioning during the hottest hours of the day. The hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle that can ferry you to any attraction in Tucson located within three miles of the property.

Each of the hotel's king premium mountain-view suites was recently renovated. From the living room in each suite, you can get a nice view of the Tucson Mountains. The accommodations are spacious and decked out in a vibrant color scheme. The bathroom, meanwhile, is outfitted with two vanities, providing plenty of room for setting up two collections of toiletries or one game of Risk.

Downstairs, you can enjoy a breakfast buffet each morning on the open-air patio at the Breeze Patio Bar and Grill. Meanwhile, the nearby Breeze Lounge serves up lighter fare and cocktails. Feel free to take drinks to the giant outdoor pool area as you stretch out in the sun.

Tucson, AZ: Southwestern History and Culture Amid the Cacti

Tucson—or The Old Pueblo—is a bastion of southwestern history and rich culture surrounded by mountains and desert. It's existed as an outpost for years, and as such it's absorbed elements from European, Native American, Mexican, and Asian cultures. Today, you can get an idea of this unique blend in the downtown restaurant scene, where you can get authentic chilies rellenos, delicately prepared sushi, and upscale bistro fare with fine wines from nearby vintners.

If you're willing to make a short trip outside of downtown, you can get an idea of the area's gorgeous natural landscape at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, a combined botanical garden and zoo located about 20 miles west of the hotel. Spread across 21 acres of desert scenery, you can find mountain lions, gila monsters, and more than 1,200 kinds of plants.

Mission San Xavier del Bac, the "White Dove of the Desert," is one of the oldest intact European structures in Arizona. It's a sprawling white adobe church that was built in the 1700s, a striking example of the area's Spanish colonial architecture. Its interiors are lined with frescoes and fine sculpture. You can find it about 10 miles south of downtown.
