HomeTucsonTravel & Leisure › Weekend Getaway: Loews Ventana Canyon
 
 
 

Want to get away? Loews Ventana Canyon (located at the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains) recently underwent a multimillion dollar renovation overhauling its entire property, including its 398 guest rooms and 26 suites—each with a private terrace, some offering a fireplace or a Jacuzzi.

Each luxurious room is beautifully accented in warm earth tones. A plush king size bed and ultrasoft bedding make sleeping in a habit. And ladies, the room’s spalike bathroom comes complete with an in-room complimentary robe by Chadsworth & Haig—perfect for sitting outside, sipping a freshly brewed cup of joe while watching the sunrise. And afterwards, jump right back in bed, order room service and catch up on the morning news.

Wondering what to eat? While breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Loews has added some sweet culinary flare to its menu, in addition to a host of healthy breakfast items and custom juice blends, of course. Choose from a frozen hot chocolate, banana splits or oatmeal brulee. For lunch, enjoy relaxing poolside seating at Bill's Grill or a casual bit to eat at Canyon Café/Vista Barista. But for dinner, no place offers a more succulent steak than the Flying V Bar & Grill.

In between meals, take in the property’s two swimming pools with Jacuzzis, four tennis courts, and two 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed PGA golf courses—the Canyon Course and the Mountain Course. There’s also plenty of hiking, biking, ping-pong and basketball that offer endurance-building activities, while its 7,000-sq.-ft. full-service Lakeside Spa helps to work out the kinks. From facials to foot massages, the spa offers an array of health, wellness, weight and body treatments, with sessions lasting 30 to 90 minutes.

Later on, make your way to the city’s 4th Avenue shops. Filled with trendy boutiques, galleries, jewelers and gourmet bistros, here you will find those one-of-a-kind gifts to get those awaiting your return.

A traveling perk:

Known for its pet-friendly policy, your pampered pooch will be welcomed with open arms and treated as an extended member of the Loews family. Once checked in, your pet will be gifted a pet tag, a bowl and a special treat to kick off their vacation. Additional beds (varying in size), leashes and collars, rawhide bones and a pooper scooper are available if needed. And like all guests of Loews Ventana Canyon, pets have available room service too.
