The bone soaking heat of summer has arrived along with the ripening of cactus fruit and the most vibrant sunsets of the year. Summer days are a little slower (and a little sleepier). We’ve found the spaciousness of Ocie Elliott‘s music to be the perfect soundtrack these days. This season’s playlist is a particularly special […]
When we designed JTH Tucson, we dreamt of creating more than just a place to stay, but an immersive experience.

When dreaming up our plans for JTH Tucson, we always knew that the space would have a communal component. We designed the inn to include shared spaces for our guests to convene, but we also planned to host workshops and community events. Our soft opening in 2019 was a retreat for the Spell team. It […]
