Hermosa Inn, small boutique hotel
The Hermosa Inn is a hotel and restaurant in Paradise Valley offering 43 small ranch-style houses called casitas with southwestern character. The grounds spread across gardens with desert plants, while the restaurant Lon's features adobe walls, rustic furnishings, and patios beneath tall mesquite trees with string lights and fireplaces.
The Hermosa Inn was founded in the 1930s by artist Lon Megargee, who created it originally as a private retreat for friends. The property maintained its southwestern style over decades and later became open to visitors.
The name Lon's refers to Lon Megargee, the artist who founded the property in the 1930s. The restaurant and buildings show his creative influence through handcrafted details and design that reflects the Arizona desert landscape.
The casitas provide private spaces with modern comfort and traditional design suited to the desert landscape. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, and staff can arrange special requests such as dietary needs or private areas.
The restaurant's wine cellar holds over 7,000 bottles and has been recognized with awards for its collection. This extensive selection makes Lon's a special place for wine lovers who want to pair their dishes with carefully chosen wines.
