Arizona is hot in the summer. Very hot. But the staycation deals and packages offered by some of our most beautiful, beloved, picturesque and luxuirous resorts and hotels are even hotter.
While some scrunch in the car to seek cooler temps and others pay far too much for a flight, you can take advantage of some of Arizona’s finest accommodations. Dip in a pool, float on a lazy river, order some of the best room service this side of the Grand Canyon, swing a golf club and kick back in a cabana.
