Hacienda
Del Sol Guest Ranch & Resort
A True Southwest Experience set in the Heart of the most
Beautiful Foothills of Tucson, Arizona
Prized for its
historic architecture, picturesque rooms, fine dining and wine
collection, desert landscape gardens and magnificent views, Hacienda
del Sol is a charming southwest destination nestled in the heart of
the most beautiful foothills of Tucson. A piece of Tucson’s history,
from 1930 to 1941, Hacienda del Sol was a girls college preparatory
school that was home to nationally recognized names such as Pillsbury,
Vanderbilt/Maxwell, Campbell and more. In 1948, Hacienda del Sol
opened its doors as a guest ranch, where legendary patrons such as
Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, John Wayne, and Howard Hughes
enjoyed the comforts.
Today, thirty-four acres of natural desert landscape and colorful
gardens envelop Hacienda del Sol’s custom furnished Private Casitas,
Guest Rooms, and Suites. Understated elegance and a long, colorful
history set this Spanish Colonial ranch resort well above the rest – a
true original of the Tucson Valley. Authentic adobe structures,
hand-carved wood beam ceilings, circa 1929, are just a few of the many
carefully preserved details that make Hacienda del Sol and most unique
