The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain

The Ritz-Carlton arrival on the Tucson resort scene has made a huge splash. High above the Sonoran desert, Dove Mountain welcomes lucky guests to its world-class Tortolita Mountain environment, where they find a destination spa, adventure programs like hiking, and a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. Dining options are as sublime as the resort, with six eclectic dining rooms and bars to choose from, including a latin kitchen and sushi bar. Guest rooms and suites are elegant and spacious. For even more privacy, book one of the casitas, which feature fireplaces and panoramic views of Wild Burro Canyon. There's nothing not to love at the Dove.
