LOCATION

The private JTH Inn is bordering Saguaro National Park West. The closest airport is Tucson International Airport TUS (45 minutes), & Phoenix PHX (1 hour 30 minutes). We'd recommend renting a car from the airport if you're not road-tripping in to give you flexibility during your stay.

Where should I stay? Tucson has many lovely options. We love the Leo Kent Hotel. The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain and Canyon Ranch Tucson would be lovely options for a more luxurious, wellness-focused stay. Airbnb is a great option, too, if you'd prefer something that feels more like home. We're happy to help connect guests who'd like to share accommodations or coordinate travel together.
