Scenic Comfort Just Outside the Tucson Buzz

Modern Southwestern charm meets desert tranquility at La Posada Lodge & Casitas Ascend Hotel Collection, nestled in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains.

Each room comes with a private entrance and patio, plus thoughtful extras like a microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker. You’ll enjoy free Wi-Fi, a heated outdoor pool, and a hot tub to soak off the night’s energy.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is about a 20-minute drive from downtown Tucson’s major concert venues, making it close enough for convenience but far enough for some post-show peace and quiet.

With check-in starting at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough wiggle room to recharge without rushing. Parking is free, and if you're using rideshares, the location is easy to navigate.
