Westward Look Resort

Tucson, Arizona has quite a few historic hotels like the Westward Look Resort. This hotel was built in 1912, when Tucson only had 13,000 permanent residents. William and Maria Watson bought 172 acres for their homestead, which eventually turned into a hotel. They sought architect Merritt Starkweather to design the home. The same qualities of 1912 still exist though some of the hotel has been renovated and updated for the modern family.

The entire décor is modern contemporary with a bit of European flair. Many of the windows look out over the desert and the roof is red tile. Included in the hotel offerings is a fitness center and outdoor pool with hot tub. Lounges are available, as well as tables with umbrellas. The hotel offers 241 rooms, mostly suite sized. Each bedroom has a sitting area, with king or double beds. The floors are hardwood to blend with the natural surroundings. Televisions, telephones, toiletries, desk, internet, and other common hotel room amenities are provided.

There are a variety of choices for restaurants at Westward Look Resort such as the Lookout Bar and Grille, Chef's Garden, and Gold. The Chef often has special events and dining specials throughout the year with Southwestern cuisine as the main attraction.
