Tucson Hotels

Graduate Tucson, at 930 E. Second St., is a 14-story hotel with 164 rooms.

"With the pandemic and people not being able to work from home, they're looking to outsource an office," the manager said. "They're looking for somewhere to meet someone or get away from the family for a little bit to focus."

As the coronavirus pandemic stretches on, the loss in tax revenue from Tucson hotels will be significant.

The complex will have around 250 apartments in a mix of sizes, along with ground-floor retail.

The six story hotel has a water slide, arcade and a poolside bar. 

A downtown hotel built in 1947 has tripled in size and is now open for guests — both visitors and locals.

A national trend of older motels getting rehabbed and creating venues for locals to gather is gaining momentum in Tucson.
