Tucson’s historic Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort is a meeting destination that inspires creative thought, relaxed collaboration and award-winning service. The Forbes 4-Star resort has fifty-nine guestrooms and over 18,000 square feet of inspiring function space. 

The travel guide also listed Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch with a four-star rating for the second year in a row.

“It is a distinct honor to be awarded the prestigious Forbes Four-Star award for the second consecutive year,” said Hacienda Del Sol General Manager Jill Clark, in a release announcing the rating. “This is a very special recognition for our Hacienda Del Sol team and a reward for their efforts in executing the Forbes standards with consistency and compassion.”

Hacienda del Sol is set to take full advantage of Arizona natural beauty.

        Quite frankly I was puzzled when UNESCO—not exactly a reliable restaurant guide—declared Tucson a “World City of Gastronomy.” You could always get good Mexican food in the city (and El Charro, opened in 1922, is said to be the birthplace of the chimichanga), and there were always good diners and breakfast places around town.

Ring a ding ding, let the new decade sing.

Here’s your chance for a fresh start and an even fresher meal.

Much like the previous years, there’s a slew of dining options for you to indulge in, toast to, and sway to the rhythms of as you welcome the New Year (and a clean slate).

Imagine that it’s the 1930s, and you’re a daughter of a high-society family, sent from your east coast home to a finishing school in the Arizona desert.

Your day might include time in the wood-paneled library and horseback riding in the hills around the property. If you didn’t already own a horse, you’d need to buy one when you arrived in this remote outpost near the fledgling city of Tucson.
