ROOMS and SUITES

The Ryan Patrick Suite

One of our premier suites, The Ryan Patrick, with its king bed and attached sitting area, offers a little more space perfect for those slightly longer stays. It’s interesting how this suite has become a repeat favorite for our guests who visit Tucson simply to enjoy its unique natural beauty. Saguaro National Monument, Sabino Canyon, Mount Lemmon, innumerable hiking trails, Gates Pass…from The Blenman Inn’s ideal location in the heart of Tucson’s city center each is easily accessible and always greatly enjoyed. When your day of exploration is done, The Blenman Inn is the perfect retreat into unique Old World comfort and charm.

Sara Page Suite

Relax in this lovely, serene, sea green room that sleeps 5 persons. The Sara Page is always one of the favorites for families visiting the University of Arizona for special events ranging from registration and Family Weekend to Homecoming and Commencement. Visitors to The Blenman Inn thank us for providing a “very welcome haven of peace” amidst the bustle of “non-stop” activity at the University. For those staying in the beautifully restored Sara Page Suite, the most popular features are the sitting area in the main room, the day room with a twin bed, the bathroom with full bath (and original claw foot tub!), and especially because it can be adjoined to the Nick Anthony Room as additional family room, Grandparent suite or if you’re travelling with additional family or friends!

The Nicole Elizabeth Suite

Like each of our rooms, the Nicole Elizabeth is unique and absolutely gorgeous. Its stunning romantic ambiance, cozy living space and popular jacuzzi tub, make it a constant request for brides and grooms who choose The Blenman Inn as the perfect place to stay while they celebrate their special day. Authentic antique furnishing and true Old World luxury provide an unforgettable memory for years to come. Unlike large, common, impersonal chain hotels, The Blenman Inn will give you a private, relaxing retreat between rehearsals and your other events. And if you choose, with enough advance notice The Blenman Inn can – and often does – accommodate your entire wedding party!!

Nick Anthony Room

This Tudor bedroom is a rich, stately example of our Inn's English touch. The Nick Anthony has become a favorite for families gathering for special University events (University of Arizona football and Arizona basketball, especially) because of its comfort, and also because it can be easily adjoined to the Sarah Page Suite as additional family room i.e., Grandparent suite. Anytime you need to visit the University of Arizona – for any reason – The Blenman Inn is the perfect place to stay. Ideally located in the downtown Tucson, we are just minutes away from the University of Arizona campus…and just an easy, short walk to Tucson’s SunLink Streetcar which will whisk you directly to your choice of several stops on the U of A campus.

The Rose Room

The Rose Room is a bright, sunlit room exquisitely furnished and lovingly restored with period antiques that create a wonderful step back in time. Boasting the original flowered wallpaper, The Rose is the kind of space that many of our guests seem to consider “theirs” whenever they return to visit Tucson and Southern Arizona. Whether they’re coming for The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson Botanical Gardens, Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona State Museum (of Natural History) or the International Wildlife Museum, the Rose is their “room of choice” that is constantly praised because it is anything but just another cookie-cutter room in a common chain hotel!

Sydney Marie Suite

Perfect for a family of 3, this suite sleeps 3 comfortably with a day room that hosts a twin bed. We’ve been told that the furnishings of the Sydney Marie are “decadent” and “absolutely luscious.” We agree. With The Blenman Inn’s perfect Tucson City Center location, the Sydney Marie might just be the perfect room for your stay when you come to enjoy Tucson’s famed Gem and Mineral Show, or our “Dia de los Muertos” celebration, or maybe the annual Mariachi Conference, or maybe just to sample the (quite literally) dozens of incredible authentic Mexican food restaurants here in the “Mexican Food Capital” of the known world! Whatever your reason, treat yourself to something truly special…a completely memorable stay amidst Old World luxury in the charming Blenman Inn.

Blenman Studio Suite

Formerly the innkeeper's suite, The Blenman Studio offers our guests relaxing comfort with the added benefit of its own private patio. With its own deep, rich roots in history of the true American West (The Blenman Inn, built in 1878, is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places), it’s no wonder so many of our visitors use us as the perfect place to stay as they discover the legendary history of Southern Arizona. For any number of excellent reasons, it is popular for visitors whose goal is to explore the diversity of the Old West through visits to the OK Corral and Crystal Palace in Tombstone (the Town Too Tough To Die), the elegant Copper Queen in Bisbee, or the Gadsden in Douglas. It’s also the great for visits the focus more on Tucson’s wide breadth of performance arts…Broadway in Tucson, the Music Hall, The Century Room jazz club, and many, many more!
