Recently named one of the 2012 “Top 500 Hotels in the World” by Travel + Leisure Magazine
and Condé Nast Traveler’s 2011 Reader’s Poll pick, The Hermosa Inn is a jewel of a hideaway in
the heart of the Valley; minutes from Scottsdale, yet surrounded by an exclusive neighborhood
in Paradise Valley.
Originally hand-crafted in the 1930’s by cowboy artist
Lon Megargee as his private residence, the Inn’s adobe
architecture has kept its “old Arizona” character and
charm. All 34 casitas are surrounded by spectacular
landscaping and beautiful desert vistas. The $2 million
remodel of the accommodations retains the legendary
personality and intimate atmosphere of the original
hacienda, while enhancing the accommodations with
upgraded amenities for a more luxurious experience.
The culinary centerpiece of the Inn is LON’s at the Hermosa, the celebrated Four Diamond
restaurant renowned for “artful American” cuisine, which is complemented by the Last Drop
Bar, aptly named after one of the many paintings by Megargee that can be seen throughout the
historic inn.
OPENED:
Casa Hermosa, the original inn, opened in 1936 and became The Hermosa Inn in 1941. The full
restoration was completed October 1, 1994. The underground wine cellar, library and
boardroom were added in January 2003 and the two million dollar rooms remodel and property
enhancements were completed in November 2009.
DESIGN/
DÉCOR:
Originally hand-crafted by cowboy artist Lon Megargee as his private residence and studio, The
Hermosa Inn’s historical charm is expressed through the use of traditional Southwestern
architecture, adobe bricks, wood beams, hand-painted Mexican tile
and many one-of-a-kind embellishments reflecting its artistic
heritage.
The residential ambiance of the resort’s main building welcomes
guests with an intimate check-in area, cozy lounge and boutique
which leads guests to charming public areas, one-of-a-kind meeting
rooms and secluded patios. Decorative accents abound throughout,
from fireplaces and Stetson hats to Megargee’s own original
paintings and other works of Western art.
Luxurious Southwestern-style casitas make up the 34 unique guest
rooms which include beamed vaulted ceilings, rustic tile floors,
beehive fireplaces, oversized hand-carved furniture, hand-painted
Mexican tile and custom artwork.
CASITAS:
The Hermosa Inn features 34 non-smoking guest casitas featuring the following four types of
accommodations:
RANCHO CASITAS:
Cozy yet spacious, the 13 rancho casitas on property offer a
450 square feet room with a king bed. Features include
hand-crafted adobe brick, plantation window shutters and
patios with garden and desert views. These historic casitas
are part of the original inn and some also feature a beehive
fireplace.
CASITAS:
Encompassing 600 square feet with a king bed, each of the 10 casitas have a
sitting area, plantation window shutters and a patio with a garden or desert
view. Many also include vaulted ceilings, skylights, beehive fireplaces and
surround a courtyard with a semi-private whirlpool spa. Several casitas can
also adjoin a deluxe casita to create a two-bedroom suite.
DELUXE CASITAS:
There are seven of the luxurious one-bedroom deluxe casitas on property,
which are 650-760 square feet and feature a sitting area, fireplace and patio
with a semi-private whirlpool spa. Design features include adobe brick,
plantation window shutters, French doors and cathedral ceilings. The deluxe
casita can also adjoin a casita to create a two-bedroom suite.
GRANDE CASITAS:
The largest and most luxurious guest casita are the four grande
casitas on property, which are two rooms and 800 square feet
each. Comfortable sofas and over-sized chairs create an inviting
atmosphere in the front living area and each offers a king size
bed and two private patios which set the mood for comfort and relaxation. Guests also have the
option of reserving a connecting grande casita to create a free-standing, three-room residence.

History of
The Hermosa Inn
The Beginning (1930 – 1936)
Lon Megargee, a native of Philadelphia, came West at the turn of the century, earning his way as a cowboy,
bronco buster, stud poker dealer, commercial artist, and home builder, among his many occupations. He spent
time chasing an idealized notion of the American Dream of rancher, Indians, and settlers that was fading fast,
even during his time. Along the way, his raw-boned charm snared several wives and earned him a well-deserved
reputation as a ladies' man. But it was his adobe studio set amidst the creosote in what is now Paradise Valley
that perhaps was the closest to his heart.
Using adobe blocks mixed and formed on-site with the sandy desert soil, Megargee built according to the
architecture he studied in Mexico and Spain, using old beams and wood from an abandoned mine and aging the
exterior walls by pouring a mixture of oil and ash over them from the roof. By 1936, Megargee had created a
uniquely Southwestern home he dubbed "Casa Hermosa," which means Beautiful House.
The Guest Ranch (1936 – 1940)
Having become quite the well-known artist (his first major commission being 15 murals for
the state of Arizona) and a bachelor at the time, Megargee was already hosting many of
his friends who came to stay for extended visits and it seemed only natural that he would
turn this exchange into a side business. Most of his business was legal; however the sheriff
did make several unannounced visits to check on rumors of the late-night gambling
sessions. For this, Megargee thoughtfully provided guests with secret underground
tunnels from the main house to the stables so that they could disappear into the desert, if
needed.
The Hermosa Inn (1941)
By 1941, Megargee, in the midst of a divorce and in need of money, put Casa Hermosa, filled with his art and
furnishings, on the market. The new owners, who had every intention of using the property as their private
home, were surprised late one night by a taxi full of guests and found themselves in the guest ranch business.
Thus, Casa Hermosa became The Hermosa Inn.
The Evolution (1941 – 1991)
Over the years, and with the help of various owners, the property continued evolving to include a swimming
pool, tennis courts, casitas and villas. The property became the center of social life for the neighbors, who used
it as an extra bedroom for their guests and swam in the pool during the summer months. But by the late 1980's,
the Inn was caught in the real estate and savings and loan crisis that touched most of the West. In addition, a
devastating fire in 1987 severely damaged the main building – Megargee's old home.
The Restoration (1992 – 1994)
Intrigued by the property’s colorful past and its potential as a desert hideaway,
Paradise Valley residents Fred and Jennifer Unger and Art Cunningham of
Hermosa Legacy Partners purchased the hotel in 1992 and spearheaded a
restoration project designed to reclaim the original charm, timeless quality and
long-standing tradition of the historic structure.
Working with builder and designer, Dan MacBeth, also a Paradise Valley
resident, a top priority of theirs was to save the adobe walls of the fire-damaged main building, restore the
charred old beams, and clean up the original ironwork that graces the building inside and out.
The interior of the building, which now houses LON's at The Hermosa, Last Drop
Bar and the Inn's reception area, was furnished to reflect a 1930's Southwestern
ambiance, much like it was during Megargee's days. Prints and originals of
Megargee's artwork line the walls, including one of his most famous paintings
“Last Drop From His Stetson,” which was commissioned by the Stetson Hat
Company and, to this day, appears on the inside of every top-of-the-line Stetson
hat. The full restoration was completed in October 1994.
The Additions (2003)
In an effort to provide more space, luxury offerings and up the ante on experience, in January 2003 the Hermosa
Legacy Partners added a library and boardroom for special events and meeting space, in addition to the awardwinning underground wine cellar – where Megargee’s secret underground tunnels were found when excavating.
The Here and Now (2009 – Present Day)
In 2009, The Hermosa Inn underwent a two million dollar rooms remodel and property enhancement. Since
then the owners have continued to build upon the artful traditions that Megargee originally instilled in the
property. This has most recently included the addition of an art installment worth over $2 million dollars that
features the works of well-known Southwestern artists in the newly created sculpture garden, as well as
throughout the resort, restaurant and grounds.
To this day it has been said that Megargee, who died in Northern Arizona in 1960, still pays visits to Casa
Hermosa from time to time.

The culinary centerpiece of The Hermosa Inn is LON’s at the
Hermosa, the celebrated Four Diamond restaurant renowned
for “artful American” cuisine -- a bold and contemporary take
on the multitude of foods originating in the western
hemisphere, with a nod to both the past and the present.
Age-old cooking methods of smoking, roasting and woodgrilling are employed along with European techniques to
create a comfort cuisine utilizing the flavors of the region and
cutting-edge culinary trends. Menus are designed to
encapsulate the season and a new Chef's Tasting Menu is
offered weekly to showcase the creativity of the culinary
team.
An organic half-acre garden located just outside the kitchen
provides fragrant herbs, citrus and vegetables for a variety of
the dishes on the LON’s menu. The garden’s harvest is also supplemented with local produce
from organic farmers in the area and with specialty meats, such as lamb from Sonoma, Calif. and
seafood from sustainable fisheries along the west coast.
WINE:
LON’s wine program has been recognized by the Wine Spectator Magazine and received its
coveted Award of Excellence continuously since 1996. Taking a cue from LON’s artful American
cuisine, the wine list compliments the restaurants culinary philosophy that gastronomical
excellence is achieved through the entire dining
experience.
The underground wine cellar features an award-winning
1,000-bottle collection and a sommelier is available
nightly. Fitted with a rugged trestle table that seats
private parties of up to 12 (and divides into tables of two
and four for a cool dining experience during the summer),
the wine cellar sets a dramatic stage for various wine,
cocktail and beer pairing menu options.

Jeremy Pacheco
Executive Chef
LON’s at the Hermosa
For Executive Chef Jeremy Pacheco, the farm-to-table movement is more than a trend;
it’s in his DNA. His family’s Arizona roots go back for nine generations, and he likes to
boast that one of his great-great-uncles was the last Sheriff of Tucson do to a hanging.
Growing up on the family farm in Marana, farm-to-table was an everyday occurrence.
For example, they would take sweet corn and white corn right from the field and make
fresh masa for tamales. Now, as a professional chef, Pacheco gets durum wheat from
his father’s farm for LON’s house-made gnocchi.
The Art of the Farm
The LON’s menu reads “Artful American” cuisine and Pacheco brings an artful approach from the ground up.
With his own half-acre garden just outside the kitchen, Pacheco grows an abundance of seasonal products:
lettuce, pumpkins, arugula, basil, coriander, fennel, onions, peppermint, chiles, strawberries, English lavender,
baby oak leaf, Bloomsdale spinach, mesclun, heirloom tomatoes, tomatillos, and various types of squash and
melon. Lemon, orange and grapefruit from trees scattered throughout the Inn’s grounds provide fruit used in
many of the dishes at LON’s and in signature cocktails from the Last Drop Bar. The garden is all organic and
Pacheco carefully sources indigenous seeds from Seeds of Change, the Desert Botanical Garden and Singh
Farms.
While the garden is a true labor of love for him, it’s also a natural training ground for his
culinary staff. His goal is to instill in them a new-found connection to food which
happens when they carefully and thoughtfully plant, water, weed and harvest. “There’s
an intense sense of pride and accomplishment when we serve our own food to our
guests,” explains Pacheco. “It just doesn’t get any fresher and more flavorful than this.”
When Chef Pacheco is not in the kitchen or his garden, he’s building relationships with
local farmers and purveyors - a favorite part of his job. He’s so committed to showcasing
local products (80% of his produce is Arizona grown) that he also switched to buying the
resort’s coffee from the Roastery of Cave Creek and tea from China Mist of Scottsdale.
The Hermosa features many Arizona wines, goat cheese from Crow’s Dairy in Buckeye and
dairy goat products from Fossil Creek Creamery in Strawberry, Arizona. Chef also
supplements his own garden with the luscious products from McClendon Select Organics
and Duncan Family Farms.
The Art of Teaching
Not only does Pacheco’s garden serve as a classroom for his staff, but he engages them in
the menu development process, showing them how to take what they grow and create new
dishes. He’s dedicated to mentoring and urges his team to “have fun because this is really
hard work and you’ll go crazy if you take it too seriously.”
The Art of the Meal
Surrounded by the renowned original art of Lon Megargee, cowboy artist and builder of the original Hermosa
Inn in the 1930’s, Pacheco is inspired to make his meals artful presentations. It all begins with the product and
then he draws on the art of keeping things simple to highlight and showcase natural flavors.
Sizzling and enticingly aromatic, the Salt Seared Ahi with cilantro, pickled onion and ceviche sauce is served on a
natural salt rock so that each guest can cook the tuna to their preference. Every dish is a work of art; from
starters such as the Hermosa Arizona greens sprinkled with pecans, figs, goat cheese and chocolate-balsamic
vinaigrette to entrees like the Pecan Wood Grilled Beef Tenderloin or Pan Seared Scottish Salmon featuring
gnocchi made from the durum wheat of his father’s farm. Pacheco also salutes the whimsical nature of Lon
Megargee’s art with desserts such as LON’s Cowboy Candy Bar and Mexican Tira Misu.
“We celebrate art year-round – be it through the way we present our food to our
Artist in Residence series – and our customized dinners in the underground wine
cellar are true artistic creations for my whole team,” says Pacheco. The wine
cellar also celebrates the legacy of Megargee, who had originally built an
underground tunnel near the space, which he and his gambling buddies used as
an escape route when the sheriff would stop by unannounced. Today, the cellar
displays over 1,000 of the 5,000-bottle inventory and is an artfully romantic
venue for dinners of two to 12.
The Art of the Journey
In addition to working on the family farm, Pacheco’s first job off the farm was washing dishes at 16. Something
inside him gravitated to cooking and he left the dirty dishes behind to work as a lead cook at the Sheraton El
Conquistador in Tucson. It was here that Pacheco realized his newfound interest could actually be a career. Soon
after, he enrolled in the Scottsdale Culinary Institute and received a degree in Culinary Arts and Restaurant
Management.
After graduating, Pacheco traveled north to Scottsdale and The Phoenician’s Terrace Dining Room, working his
way up from prep cook to Chef de Cuisine. After seven years, he was lured to Vegas for a stint as Chef de Cuisine
at Wynn’s SW Steakhouse and Tournant Chef for all Encore and Wynn properties. Most notably, he was Chef de
Cuisine at Society Cafe Encore which was named one of the “Best New Restaurants in America” by Esquire
magazine in 2009. His talents were previously showcased in 2008 when he won the “Vegas Uncorked Bon
Appetit,” an Iron Chef inspired competition for master chefs of Las Vegas.
In 2010, Pacheco joined Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley as Executive Chef
where he was finally able to marry his love of cooking with his farming roots.
How does someone with so much going on possibly relax? By spending time
with his wife and son, with a game of golf every now and then, and by
stepping back in the kitchen line several times a week to ground himself in
the basics, like simply braising a piece of meat.
