Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson provides guests with a comfortable, luxurious stay and an inside look into Arizona’s finest elements. They aren’t called “the window to the Sonoran soul” for nothing. Comfortably nestled into the majestic foothills of the Catalina Mountains, Loews strives to embrace the relaxing desert it is located in. Check out some aspects of Loews, unique to Southern Arizona, that you can enjoy during your stay.

Stargazing
Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., Loews hires an astronomy professional to guide guests in a stargazing adventure. Located on the north side of the pool deck, guests can meet with the astronomer and enjoy an hour of watching the stars using the resort’s own telescope. With the natural location just in front of the Catalina Mountains and away from the busy city, the stars beautifully contrast against the night sky, making them visible and perfect for stargazing.

Local Foods
The resort’s main restaurant, Flying V Bar & Grill, focuses on using only the best local ingredients to give guests a true taste of the desert. Herbs from the resort’s personal herb garden are used to add a fresh, delicious flavor to each dish. For fruits, vegetables, and other pertinent ingredients, Chef Josh Willett strives to choose only the best ingredients that are locally cultivated by the Tohono O’odham Community Action, a nonprofit farm. Be sure to try the famous Tableside Guacamole that beautifully showcases Arizona’s finest fruits and vegetables. Local ingredients are also used at the resort’s Canyon Café and its Blues, Brews and Barbecue Sunday brunch.
