Step back in time. Experience Southwestern charm in a desert oasis with the romance of a country inn. Garden courtyards with the Old Mexico ambience of lush floral displays, fountains, and cobblestone surround four richly appointed guesthouses and suites. Birds abound in the shelter of our mature trees of mesquite, magnolia, palm, Allepo pine, hackberry, lemon, fig and pomegranate. A Victorian Adobe, El Presidio Bed & Breakfast is a splendid example of American Territorial, blending the rich cultural heritage of Mexican and American building traditions unique to Tucson, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The award-winning restoration recreated its original Victorian elegance and has been beautifully chronicled in Bantam Publisher's American Design book, The Desert Southwest. El Presidio Bed & Breakfast is the oldest functioning B&B in Tucson. |

| Built in 1886 amidst other mansions on Main Street, the Julius Kruttschnitt House reigned supreme in Snob Hollow, the premier residential area and center of higher society in this frontier village. Today it constitutes an architectural and social museum in downtown Tucson, known as El Presidio Historic District. Of particular interest to photographers, artists and historians is the diversity of building styles: Territorial, Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, Prairie and Sonoran.
