The Hermosa Inn

Paradise Valley, AZBest October to May, with February to April the priciest$$ to $$$$ by season

A 1930s cowboy artist’s adobe hideaway with only 43 casitas, so a leadership group fills much of the inn and has real meeting rooms, not ballrooms. LON’s, the on-site restaurant, handles the food, and Camelback Mountain sits two miles away.
