On a spring day in 1933, the children of three prominent Washington figures spent the day at the Arizona Inn. Seated here in the Library, from left to right: Elliott Roosevelt, son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt; Ellen McAdoo, granddaughter of President Woodrow Wilson and daughter of Senator William McAdoo; and William H. Wooden Jr., son of Treasury Secretary William H. Wooden.

Mr. Roosevelt was enjoying an extended stay at the Inn. Miss McAdoo was attending the exclusive Hacienda Del Sol School for Girls - Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort, while Mr. Wooden was a longtime Tucson resident.

In celebration of National Photography Month, we present what might be the earliest known selfie taken at the Arizona Inn. In 1967, this gentleman made clever use of a conveniently placed mirror to capture himself while standing in front of the Pool Bar.

The camera he's using is a Polaroid Land Model 95, the first of Polaroid’s instant picture cameras, produced from 1948 to 1953. By the time this picture was taken, the Model 95 had been replaced by the very popular Polaroid Model 20 ‘Swinger.’

Then and now...
The winter season of 1937-38 marked the addition of two exciting recreational amenities at the Inn. Guests could now engage in a spirited game of tennis on our new Har-Tru clay courts 🎾 or take a refreshing dip in the new 60-foot swimming pool. 🏊‍♀️

While the pool terrace was once the ideal spot for sunbathing, today it serves as a tranquil oasis for those looking to enjoy Tucson's beautiful weather and take a break from the sun.

Here's a throwback to Christmas Day 1987 when Tucson experienced its last White Christmas. A weather system that originated in the Gulf of Alaska arrived in Tucson on Christmas Eve bringing rain and then snow that continued to fall well into the morning hours on Christmas Day. The two-day snow total was 3.6” at the airport and 3.7" at the U of A.

The forecast for Christmas Day, 2024, is sunny with a high near 68.

Twice the view.

This illusion occurred when the Inn's reflection was captured on a glass desktop while looking out of a guest room window.

Here’s a flashback to September 1941. These ladies are practicing for an upcoming water carnival at the Arizona Inn Pool. The event was sponsored by the Tucson chapter of Bundles for Britain and Tucson Army Air Base (now Davis-Monthan AFB), with the proceeds going towards furnishings for a recreation room for soldiers at the base. They performed a water pageant as part of the program.
