Where Heritage Stays

Located at the crossroads of Arizona’s ranch and wine country, The Sonoita Inn is an intimate outpost for travelers drawn to landscape, legacy, and story.

A spacious indoor lodge with wooden beams and a stone fireplace. There are green cushioned chairs arranged around a small wooden table, a red patterned rug, and a large fireplace with a fire burning. Hanging from the ceiling are several black metal chandeliers. There is a decorative wooden table in the foreground and a second-floor balcony with a wooden railing.
Welcome to THE Sonoita Inn

An Escape Rooted in Place

The Sonoita Inn was built in 1980 by Margaret Carmichael, co-owner of Secretariat, as a tribute to the horse and the land she loved. More than four decades later, it remains exactly what she intended: a place rooted in the history and character of Southern Arizona.

OUR HISTORY

Where Stories Are Kept

Each of the inn's 18 rooms is named for a local ranching family with deep roots in the area. Rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, with pillowtop beds, flat-screen TVs, and views of the surrounding mountains and grasslands.
