Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

A block from the Temple of Music and Art, the Royal Elizabeth is an 1878 Victorian adobe mansion that features an unusual combination of architectural styles that makes for a uniquely Southwestern-style inn. In classic 19th-century Tucson fashion, the old home looks thoroughly unpretentious from the outside, but inside you'll find beautiful woodwork and gorgeous Victorian-era antique furnishings. Guest rooms (which are as gorgeous as the rest of the house, with high ceilings, beautiful antiques, and hardwood floors) open off a large, high-ceilinged central hall. The immediate neighborhood isn't as attractive as the nearby El Presidio neighborhood, but art galleries, the Tucson Museum of Art, and several good restaurants are within walking distance. The inn also has a separate 1905 brick bungalow that it rents out.
