Introducing the newest place to stay in Tucson: the Creosote Suite at JTH Tucson! After more than a year of renovation transforming this once blank space into the suite of our dreams, we are so excited to finally share it with you. This spacious studio has a king bed, a full kitchen, built-in couch, a […]
When dreaming up our plans for JTH Tucson, we always knew that the space would have a communal component. We designed the inn to include shared spaces for our guests to convene, but we also planned to host workshops and community events. Our soft opening in 2019 was a retreat for the Spell team. It […]
When designing and styling our spaces, we spend countless hours sourcing pieces that are not only beautiful, but also functional. We love hearing which of these pieces resonate the most for our guests, and have compiled a running list of the products you’re most interested in. Below, find links to shop some of our favorite […]
We first found Calexico back in 2005 with the album In The Reins and have been fans ever since. The duo of Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino have strong roots in the Arizona desert, near our Inn bordering Saguaro National Park. The band’s newest album El Mirador was recorded here in Tucson, and has […]
JTH Tucson is an inherently romantic place, with our endless desert views and thoughtfully designed spaces which make it the perfect elopement or micro wedding venue in Tucson. So it’s no surprise that “Do you host weddings?” is our most frequently asked question! After a few years of figuring out the best process for our […]
Serendipitous Beginnings After leaving our full time jobs to pursue freelance work in 2013, we set off on a roadtrip from San Francisco to New York that changed our lives. One of our first stops on that trip was Joshua Tree, CA—a place that stuck with us as we continued to travel, and ultimately became […]
As much as we love the desert, sometimes it’s nice to have a change of scenery. Luckily here in Tucson you don’t have to travel far to experience something completely different. Towering at 9,171 feet above sea level, Mount Lemmon’s change in elevation from the base to the peak is comparable to that between Mexico […]
The warm summer rains and distant thunder storms have arrived in the high desert, lowering our thermometers ever so slightly. We’ve had an eclectic mix of music playing around the house, lead by a sun-soaked anthem by UK-based The Heavy Heavy. The duo blends blues, psychedelia and sunny pop to feel right at home amidst […]
Here in the desert we always look forward to summer for prickly pear season. One of our favorite things to make with the fruit (tunas) is a fresh prickly pear margarita. We make it with fresh juice, but this can also be done with prickly pear syrup (reduce to 0.5 oz)! It’s sooo delicious, and […]
As the cacti begin blooming and summer draws closer, we’re placing the spotlight on Angel Olsen. Her unforgettable vocal melodies and memory-conjuring arrangements are the right soundtrack for a time of year when the best of yesterday is laying the foundation for tomorrow’s laughter, heartache, and everything else worth singing about. Along the way, enjoy […]
