Catalina Park Inn

Top choice in Tucson


Style, hospitality and comfort merge seamlessly at this inviting B&B just west of the University of Arizona. Hosts Mark and Paul have poured their hearts into restoring this 1927 Mediterranean-style villa, and their efforts are on display in the six rooms, which vary in style. Don't miss the delicious breakfast – burritos, croissant French toast and more await in the mornings.

The East and West Rooms have balcony porches perfect for sipping early-morning coffee.

The cactus and desert garden has lots of little corners for lazy afternoon cat naps. Small pets are OK in some rooms.
