311 East Congress Street, Tucson, AZ 85701

Since 1919, this downtown landmark has doubled as Tucson's cultural living room: the Cup Café serves award-winning meals three times daily, and the Century Room Jazz Club draws a post-convention crowd worth joining. Light sleepers take note: rooms face the plaza and nightclub, so request a quieter interior room when booking.
