Perhaps your morning’s menu will offer Blue Corn Blueberry Pancakes with Mesquite Syrup and Sizzling Turkey Apple Sausages.

El Rancho Merlita Bed and Breakfast menus are designed to offer a bounty of options to please the varying palettes of our guests.

Will Sleep:

Reserve a room at one of the best places to stay in Southern Arizona! This Tucson Inn offers luxury defined by Arizona’s rich western heritage. Go back in time as you enter the historic 1950’s Ranch House and estate built by Merle Norman. Carved wood beams overhead in every room, rope trim, and hand-hewn local rock fireplaces make this Tucson Bed and Breakfast a vintage western experience. Relax under deep shaded porches or enjoy breakfast in the spacious breezeway beneath a long mission tile roof with views of the Catalina Mountains. Stroll the paths to the large swimming pool directly from your room, soak in the whirlpool as you watch the moon rise or challenge a companion to a game of table tennis or horseshoes.

Pattie Bell brings 35 years of hospitality experience to El Rancho Merlita, twenty of them managing Bed and Breakfast Inns in Arizona. Her freshly prepared breakfasts will knock your boots off, with special needs graciously accommodated. Take advantage of her designation as a Certified Tourism Ambassador when planning your itinerary. Allow her to recommend a favorite trail in Saguaro National Park East, where to eat after visiting the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, check the tram schedule for your day exploring Sabino Canyon and Mt. Lemmon, or map out a road trip tasting Arizona Wines, such as those from Callaghan Vineyards. Whether you are seeking a rejuvenating respite or enthusiastically indulging in all of the activities Tucson and Southern Arizona have to offer, Pattie will ensure your travel aspirations are met.

Greet the day with a private or group yoga session, a short stroll away through our desert meditation gardens. A soothing massage melts away tension after a bike ride up the Catalina Scenic Byway in our private massage therapy studio. Stargaze from our dedicated patio through a Mead telescope. Grab a book or a movie from our extensive Western collection. Cuddle up in our soft Egyptian cotten sheets and luxurious Museum of New Mexico Collection bedding couture. Make sure you check out this Tucson Gem’s many complimentary in-room amenities.
