Hermosa Inn

Phoenix


The signage is discreet but the flowers are not at this gorgeous retreat. The 43 rooms and casitas of this 1930s dwelling give off soothing vibes, thanks to the Spanish Colonial decor chosen by the original owner, artist 'Lon' Megargee. The resort fee is $32 per day and there's an excellent restaurant on-site.
