TUSCON, Ariz.—Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort, nestled at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, has embarked on a multimillion dollar renovation that will encompass all areas of the property.
Construction began in the fall and focused on bringing new indoor/outdoor amenities and uniquely Southwest experiences throughout the resort. Unveiled this spring, the redesigned main Desert Springs Oasis pool offers new poolside cabanas, a larger pool deck with additional sunning areas, and several outdoor fire pits for poolside mingling after dark. New outdoor courtyards with grass lawns and ndigenous landscaping surround the main pool, creating a lush oasis-like setting. The renewed pool amenities complement an already robust offering of poolside fun for all ages, including a 143-foot water slide, waterfall-fed cold plunge, hot tub, and Shallow Springs, a fish-shaped children’s splash pool with interactive water features.
Refreshed indoor/outdoor experiences continue into the lobby, where sliding glass doors bring the outdoors in for an open-air experience with sweeping views overlooking the main pool and mountain views. Just outside, plush built-in lounge seating surrounds an expansive fire pit that serves as a new focal point of the lobby bar patio and is the perfect spot to catch Tucson’s stunning sunsets with a fireside cocktail.
“This renovation is the largest in the resort’s 34-year history and will be a significant chapter in the evolution of one of Tucson’s most iconic resorts,” said Ghee Alexander, general manager of Hilton Tucson El Conquistador. “In addition to extensive renovations, soon we will be adding new guest experiences to highlight the culture, nature and history of Tucson.”
Hilton Tucson El Conquistador is recognized as the longest-running AAA Four Diamond resort in the state. Views of Pusch Ridge surround the resort’s 428 spacious guestrooms, including 139 village-style casitas, and five pools to create a unique Southwest experience.
This spring, renovations will begin on the resort’s 428 guest rooms, lobby interiors, and lobby bar. In coming months, new wildlife programming, unique garden concepts, and a formal adventure and activity program will be announced. All renovations will be complete by spring of 2017.
