Once arriving in Phoenix, head to Old Town Scottsdale. First stop, Barrio Queen for some top notch tacos or Mexican fare. Take some time visiting the local shops before heading off to your stay at the Hermosa Inn.
Award-winning authentic Mexican fine-dining from scratch.
Kick off your old boots and slide your feet into a pair of new ones, or a pair of designer shoes, or both. Understandably, you may have a hard time reining yourself in. You’ll need matching earrings, a necklace, bracelet and a new handbag to round out your new getup. An art piece or authentic southwestern furniture will ensure your home doesn’t feel left out.
What we are trying to say is, shopping in Old Town is a slippery slope to bliss. With such a concentration of high-end designer boutiques and art galleries all within walking distance of one another, you’ll have little trouble filling up your wagon.
Once the private, turn-of-the-century escape of painter Lon Megargee, the intimate and luxurious Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley retains all the magic that inspired Arizona’s “dean of cowboy artists.” Today, this secluded AAA Four-Diamond boutique hotel nestled in the foothills of Camelback Mountain casts its spell on art lovers and adventurers who appreciate flawless service and the finest amenities.
After checking out and a quick bite at Arizona's iconic breakfast spot Matt's Big Breakfast, head north to Sedona. Here, have lunch or try a few pints at Oak Creek Brewery, followed by a tour of the area in a bright pink Jeep. Eat dinner through the sunset views at the Hideaway House before you head off to Williams.
Contemporary American cafe specializing in carefully sourced lunches & breakfasts.
The finest brewpub in Northern Arizona located in beautiful Sedona. Est. 2001. Award-winning craft beer, good food & plenty of it.
