THE TUXON HOTEL

FORGET YOUR OTHER PLANS.

The Tuxon Hotel is Tucson’s design-forward boutique stay, where desert-modern style meets a pool scene made for golden hour. Wake to saguaro-studded sunrises, sip craft cocktails at the Shady Cactus Swim Club, and feel mid-century soul reimagined for right now.

Minutes from downtown, this Southern Arizona boutique hotel delivers creative energy, effortless comfort, and poolside perfection. This is everything Tucson was meant to be.

MOTOR LODGE
LIFE, UPGRADED

The Tuxon is a modern motor lodge with mid-century soul and desert-modern bones. Craft cocktails that hit right. Walls covered in local art by Ishi Glinsky, Joe Pagac, and Jessica Gonzales. The Shady Cactus Swim Club as your backyard.


No squeaky beds. No beige carpets. No bad coffee.


Just Tucson — bold, creative, and unapologetically itself.

GET SHADY
AT 5:30

Every day at 5:30 pm, a ranch bell rings across The Tuxon — your cue to grab a complimentary drink and join Shady Toast, the ritual that kicks off Shady Hour at the Shady Cactus Swim Club.


Sun dropping low. Surf rock spinning. New friends by the water. That sweet spot where Tucson slows down and the desert wakes up. Not just happy hour — a desert tradition, served cold, loud, and a little shady.

LOCALS DRINK
HERE TOO

The real test? Locals showing up on their day off. Tucsonans roll in for Shady Hour, linger over frozen cocktails and slushies, and keep coming back for the DJ sets.


Golden hour that actually feels golden. Late-night energy that never fizzles. A poolside bar that lives up to the hype. The Shady Cactus Swim Club isn’t just a hotel amenity—it’s a Tucson destination. No room key required.

VIBE.

You’ve driven past a hundred roadside hotels—this isn’t one of them. Just minutes from downtown, The Tuxon Hotel turns the classic American motor lodge into a design-forward boutique stay with craft cocktails, cactus courtyards, and local art at every turn.


It’s the kind of Tucson stop that makes you cancel tomorrow’s plans. Effortless. Stylish. Entirely its own.

The Tuxon has a very relaxing and chill vibe. The rooms are exceptionally clean. I felt like I was sleeping in a friend's super cozy guest room. We loved having the bar and great food after a long day of hiking. The food is surprisingly delicious! Loved the whole design of the hotel.

We enjoyed a lovely 4-night stay. Staff, food, entertainment, amenities, and the grounds were perfect. Love the style and well-thought-out details of this resort! Please use the bikes and take the nearby bike trail. We highly recommend The Tuxon if you’re in the area!

Looks can be deceiving. This may be the beginning of the comeback of the Motel. The modern space has a whole vibe while visiting Tucson. The location is right off the freeway. Very convenient drive to local eateries and shops. However, don't travel too far because the restaurant on site is a must. The complimentary bike rental is a plus. If you're ever visiting Tucson give the oldie, but newbie a try. You will not be disappointed.
