North of Tucson in the lush Sonora Desert, nestled among the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa offers luxurious guest rooms, a myriad of recreational activities, and the superb service expected of a AAA Four Diamond Award resort. It's easy to see why we were named to the 2002 Conde Nast Traveler Gold List. Caressed by gentle desert breezes and guarded by a century-old giant Saguaro cactus, this unique environment is a natural catalyst to creative meetings and memorable vacations. Step into a lobby as open and airy as the high desert. The tiered interior visually draws guests toward 10,000-foot mountain peaks through magnificent arch windows. Influenced by the Native American culture, the colorful heritage of the American West, and Spanish roots - Tucson offers unrivaled southwestern character and charm. A temperate climate makes us a year-round playground. Hailed as "one of the best golf resorts" by the 2001 Conde Nast Traveler Golf Poll, golf enthusiasts can test their skills on the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus signature course or play a few sets on one of 10 lighted tennis courts. Hike the foothills among invigorating desert breezes, then cool off at the swim-up bar or on Arizona's longest resort water slide. Nurture your body, mind, and spirit at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa. And don't miss the impressive mountain views from our four delectable, charming restaurants.
