Saturday, September 21, 2024 voco Hotels, a premium brand under IHG Hotels & Resorts, has recently expanded its presence in the U.S. with the opening of voco The Tuxon in Tucson, Arizona.
Launched in collaboration with SVP Holdings LLC and Align Hospitality, this marks the brand’s 71st property globally. Nestled along the scenic Santa Cruz River and a short drive from Downtown Tucson and the bustling Mercado District, voco The Tuxon offers guests a unique blend of Desert Modernism and vintage motor culture. Drawing inspiration from southern Arizona’s rich history, the hotel incorporates design elements like brass, stone, and saddled leather, paying homage to the region’s cattle ranching roots and mining heritage.
The 112 well-appointed guest rooms reflect the area’s American, Mexican, and Native American influences, with thoughtfully curated finishes that immerse guests in the beauty of the desert landscape. As part of voco’s signature experience, guests are greeted upon arrival with a welcome treat—a locally sourced Prickly Pear Cactus Candy, symbolic of the Sonoran Desert’s native flora. Sustainability is at the forefront of voco’s offerings, with eco-conscious touches like duvets and pillows made from 100% recycled materials and bulk plant-based bathroom amenities.
Dining at voco The Tuxon is an experience in itself, thanks to The Pool Bar, a poolside restaurant created in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Drew Record. Featuring locally inspired brea.
