With the vision of returning the ranch to its’ original glory, the owners have continually renovated and renewed Hacienda del Sol with special care. The guest ranch was forgotten for some time… until 1995 when fate landed the secluded property into the loving hands of a group of Tucson investors. Leading men John Wayne and Clark Gable both signed their names to the hotel’s illustrious guestbook. Legend has it that the Hacienda’s Casita Grande was a favorite romantic hideaway of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. In 1948, Hacienda Del Sol was converted into a guest ranch that immediately attracted the Silver Screen’s most popular stars.
In the late 1930’s, renowned architect Josias Joesler was commissioned to rebuild and redesign sections of the ranch, adding his notable signature to many architectural details. The prestigious school’s roster boasted names such as Vanderbilt, Pillsbury, Maxwell, Westinghouse, and Campbell, to name a few. Hacienda del Sol was originally a “home away from home” ranch school for the daughters of society’s elite families. It is a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America, and has been inspiring travelers since 1929. Baby boomer travelers will love the Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort in the foothills of Tucson, Arizona’s Catalina Mountains.
