Then and now...
The winter season of 1937-38 marked the addition of two exciting recreational amenities at the Inn. Guests could now engage in a spirited game of tennis on our new Har-Tru clay courts 🎾 or take a refreshing dip in the new 60-foot swimming pool. 🏊‍♀️

While the pool terrace was once the ideal spot for sunbathing, today it serves as a tranquil oasis for those looking to enjoy Tucson's beautiful weather and take a break from the sun.

Here's a throwback to Christmas Day 1987 when Tucson experienced its last White Christmas. A weather system that originated in the Gulf of Alaska arrived in Tucson on Christmas Eve bringing rain and then snow that continued to fall well into the morning hours on Christmas Day. The two-day snow total was 3.6” at the airport and 3.7" at the U of A.

The forecast for Christmas Day, 2024, is sunny with a high near 68.

Twice the view.

This illusion occurred when the Inn's reflection was captured on a glass desktop while looking out of a guest room window.

Here’s a flashback to September 1941. These ladies are practicing for an upcoming water carnival at the Arizona Inn Pool. The event was sponsored by the Tucson chapter of Bundles for Britain and Tucson Army Air Base (now Davis-Monthan AFB), with the proceeds going towards furnishings for a recreation room for soldiers at the base. They performed a water pageant as part of the program.

Good morning!

On the evening of July 7, 1944, five-time Olympic swimming gold medalist, Johnny Weissmuller, and "Water Comedian" Stubby Kreuger entertained hundreds of spectators at the Arizona Inn Pool during their traveling War Bond Aquacade -- an event to raise money for the war effort. Weissmuller and Kreuger performed diving and swimming exhibitions and comedic routines while the ladies demonstrated Hula techniques and rhythmic swimming.

During the 1930s and 40s, Weissmuller was best known as Tarzan starring in 12 of the iconic movies inspired by the writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the conclusion of the show, Weissmuller indulged his fans by letting out his now famous Tarzan yell.

In a city steeped in history and tradition, few events rival the grandeur and elegance of the Silver & Turquoise Ball. Established over seven decades ago as a humble gesture of gratitude, this iconic soirée has evolved into a cornerstone of Tucson's cultural calendar.

The Silver & Turquoise Board of Hostesses currently supports the restoration of Mission San Xavier del Bac and is proud to be one of the prime benefactors of “The White Dove of the Desert,” a national historic landmark and local treasure. The Board of Hostesses has contributed more than $800,000 since 1993.

The Silver & Turquoise Ball will be held at the Arizona Inn on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

"Literally three guys walked into the bar at the Arizona Inn and sketched out an asteroid mission sample return project on a cocktail napkin." - Dante Lauretta

Congratulations to the University of Arizona and the team of scientists on this remarkable achievement. And thank you to Dante Lauretta for mentioning the events at the Inn. Little did we know what greatness was transpiring in our humble oasis all those years ago.
