The traditional holiday spirit lives on at The Hermosa
Inn, where the simple charms of a Southwestern Christmas
come to life and provides warmth within a welcoming
desert hideaway. While the rest of the world may be in

Beautifully decorated in full holiday fashion, the
legendary Hermosa Inn recently completed a $2 million

of elegance…just in time for the merriment to begin.

private patio, sitting room, beehive fireplaces,
wood-beamed cathedral ceilings, hand-painted tile and
dreamy canopy beds. Beautifully upgraded bathrooms have

during the holidays in the new 1,400-square-foot
connecting casita suite. Couples and friends can take
pleasure in the ambiance of stylish lodging, ideal for
celebrating the holidays or other special occasions.
The Four Diamond Lon's signature restaurant will prepare
a traditional holiday dinner with a scrumptious
four-course menu, homemade eggnog and festive eggnog
martinis, fresh-baked holiday cookies for the kids and
classic holiday tunes. Additionally, the wine cellar has
an impressive selection to complement your culinary
meal.
"Guests and staff become more like family when we gather
for the holidays," said Hermosa Inn Managing Director
Michael Gildersleeve. "We provide an ideal
hideaway with a true residential comfort to melt away
holiday stress and get into the holiday spirit,"
Gildersleeve said. "Now is the perfect time to enjoy our
newly-enhanced accommodations, landscaped gardens and
dining venues.”
Originally hand built in the 1930s by cowboy artist Lon
Megargee as his home and studio called "Casa Hermosa"
meaning beautiful house, The Hermosa Inn personifies
gracious Arizona hospitality with a quiet elegance and
comfortable seclusion nestled in the Sonoran desert
boasting stunning views of Camelback Mountain in the
affluent neighborhood of Paradise Valley.
Lon's specializes in Artful American cuisine in an
inviting adobe style dining room as well as a
spectacular patio with glowing fireplaces. The Bar, as
you would imagine, is the gathering place for guests and
locals alike who enjoy designer cocktails, an
ever-changing wine-by-the-glass selection and a bar menu
for appetizers or casual meals.
Guests take a peek into the past with vintage Western
artifacts and a memorable culinary experience which
captures spirit, creativity and warmth using bold
flavors that reflect the foods originating in the West.
Authentic furnishings and artwork painted by Megargee
some 70 years ago is on display throughout the
restaurant and property, creating a true sense-of-place.
The Hermosa’s holiday package (minimum two-night stay)
ranges from $549 to $634 relative to your accommodation
selection and includes a newly- remodeled casita, a $65
credit for an amenity from the new retail line, a bottle
of champagne or wine to begin the celebration and a
hand-painted holiday ornament keepsake from a donation
made to the Scottsdale Artists’ School Youth Academy.
