Omni Tucson National Resort

Close your eyes and picture Arizona. What you see is Tucson: azure skies over rugged peaks, saguaro forests, and low-rise territorial-style architecture. For groups, Omni Tucson National Resort adds 279 luxury accommodations—complete with evening turndown and plasma-screen TVs—along with sophisticated dining, meeting facilities, tempting off-site venues, and activities geared to every taste.

A $60-million investment in 2008 and 2009 will transform the resort into a masterful blend of nature, inspiration, and luxury. The new Santa Catalina Ballroom will entertain groups of up to 625 for receptions flanked by panoramic views of fairways, Sonoran Desert, and Santa Catalina Mountains. The ballroom will adjoin two versatile salons and four additional rooms to create over 22,000 square feet of indoor meeting space. Natural light will flood every room, rivaled only by the sunshine and starlight illuminating 34,000 square feet of multilevel terraces, gardens, lawns, fire pits, and Western corrals for gatherings outside.

For business on the golf course, two 18-hole layouts include the Catalina Course, home to the PGA Tour’s Tucson Open for over three decades. Private cabanas and Wi-Fi service at the infinity-edge pool support business activities as well, while the Mobil Four-Star Award–winning spa, fitness center, and sports complex concentrate solely on team bonding or individual relaxation. Spouse programs illustrate yet another wide choice of attractions, everything from custom spa and salon experiences to golf and tennis clinics, tours of Tucson, even shopping trips south of the border. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time. Posted Feb 25, 2008 by Mbrooks
