The Hermosa Inn suits board meetings, leadership retreats, rehearsal dinners and small weddings, with eight indoor and outdoor spaces that take from about 20 to 125 guests. The inn sits in Paradise Valley, Arizona, a residential town between Phoenix and Scottsdale, and keeps 43 casitas in landscaped gardens, so a group can meet, eat and sleep in one place.
Seminars and company events
For a working session, the Boardroom seats up to 20 around a table and the Adobe Room takes 24 seated. The Library, at 550 square feet, seats 32 and can be combined with the Boardroom to give a reception area for up to 80 guests. The Stetson Room, 960 square feet, seats 60 for a banquet or hosts 75 standing, which makes it the main indoor room for a company dinner or an awards evening. Smaller groups can close the day in the Wine Cellar, which receives up to 25 guests standing. The inquiry form asks for the meeting setup, so layouts are settled with the events team before the day.
Weddings and receptions
The inn sells weddings and celebrations. The Garden, 3,100 square feet, is the setting it proposes for intimate ceremonies and receptions: up to 60 guests seated or 120 standing. The Hideaway Patio, 1,400 square feet, seats 75 and takes 125 for a cocktail reception, the largest standing figure on site. The Lookout Patio adds a second open-air option for up to 100 guests standing.
Rooms and capacities
Eight spaces are listed. Indoors: the Stetson Room, the Library, the Adobe Room, the Boardroom and the Wine Cellar. Outdoors: the Garden, the Hideaway Patio and the Lookout Patio. The six spaces with a published floor area add up to roughly 7,000 square feet. The largest seated event is 75 guests on the Hideaway Patio, and the largest standing event is 125 guests in the same place. Indoors, the Stetson Room is the biggest room, with 60 seated.
Accommodation
The 43 casitas are spread through the gardens rather than stacked in a tower. Categories named by the inn include Rancho, Casita, Deluxe Casita and Grande Casita, which helps when a group needs a mix of standard rooms and larger units for speakers, executives or the wedding party.
Catering
Food for events comes from the culinary team of LON's, the inn's restaurant, set in the historic hacienda. The team writes custom menus and adapts them to dietary needs. LON's Last Drop serves craft cocktails and light dishes, and the inn also offers poolside dining and in-room dining for guests who stay over.
History and setting
The inn was built in the 1930s by Alonzo Megargee, known as Lon, a painter often called a cowboy artist, and it is a historical landmark. It holds one of the largest known collections of his original work, and Shona stone sculptures have recently been placed in the grounds through a partnership. The Hermosa Inn belongs to the Arizona Hideaway Collection.
Getting there
Paradise Valley lies between central Phoenix and Scottsdale. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the nearest airport, around 20 minutes by car in normal traffic. Confirm transfer options with the inn when planning a group arrival.
