Best staycation with that special someone


One of the best places to staycation with a special someone or maybe if you just really want to enjoy some time alone and be treated top notch, this is the spot. I can't wait for my next staycation here because of how impressed I was last summer. The rooms are cozy but still quite big, the property is beautiful and relaxing and the food, especially if you book a cellar dinner, is a night to remember.

This summer, The Hermosa Inn, a AAA Four Diamond hotel nestled in the heart of Paradise Valley, offers plenty of options to unwind and dine at this boutique hideaway of 43 luxury casitas, which was ranked as #9 of the Top 10 Hotels in the U.S. and the #1 Hotel in the Southwest & West in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2017 Readers’ Choice Awards. Here's a few more reasons (special discounts) to book now!

SPECIAL MENUS AND VENUES

COOL DINING IN LON’S UNDERGROUND WINE CELLAR

The return of 100+ degree temperatures in the greater Phoenix area also ushers in a cool reprieve in the form of a one-of-a-kind culinary experience in the underground wine cellar at LON’s at the Hermosa. Beginning May 31st through September 16th, the hotel's signature restaurant will be opening its private subterranean wine cellar to offer guests and Valley residents alike, a special tasting menu ($65++/person) prepared by Executive Chef Jeremy Pacheco and his culinary team, along with a wine pairing option (additional $35/person).

Cool (in every sense of the word), the cellar – kept at 57 degrees – is normally available only for private events, but will now be open for parties of two or more, Thursday through Sunday nights, but it can only be reserved within 7 days and by calling LON’s at 602.955.7878.
