$139 - Tucson: Hacienda-Style Escape w/$50 Dining Credit

The Deal

Find sanctuary in Tucson at what Fodor's describes as a "charming hacienda-style hotel" that offers "modern comfort in an old world setting." Tuck in for the night from Oct. 1 - Dec. 30 -- including weekends -- with this exclusive deal at the Lodge on the Desert for $139 (regularly $230). Plus, guests receive a $50 credit to spend at the hotel's farm-to-table restaurant.

Backed by views of the Santa Catalina Mountains and pathways lined by palm trees and cacti, amenities at the hotel include a pool with a gas fireplace on the deck -- perfect for sitting by in the evening -- a hot tub and complimentary croquet. At the day's end, guests will retreat to spacious rooms featuring 10-foot ceilings and contemporary Southwestern decor.

The restaurant's chef, Ryan Clark, was awarded "Tucson Iron Chef" in both 2011 and 2012, and his menu embodies the "slow food" movement. Dishes such as the steamed red-corn tamales are chock full of locally sourced ingredients. The intimate restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a patio with a four-sided fireplace for year-round alfresco dining.

About the location: This desert hideaway has multiple golf courses nearby and is less than five miles from the Tucson Botanical Gardens, Museum of Art and Reid Park Zoo. Tucson International Airport is 15 minutes away.
