Tucson’s Best Brunch (ranked by Tucson Guide in 2008) is serving a special Easter Brunch this year, including some of its signature Blues, Brews and Barbeque touches as well as special holiday treats.

Join us Sunday, April 12 for Easter Brunch at Loews, and be sure to bring an appetite. Feast on everything from omelets and applewood smoked bacon to snow crab claws and green lip mussels to fresh tortillas and carnitas. The full carving station, the sweet and savory salads and the Blues, Brews and BBQ Grill Station should satisfy any other cravings. Make sure to save room for dessert because the ganache coffee tartlets, the lemon ginger tortes and the apple crème brûlée won’t eat themselves.

While there will be plenty of seating indoors inside the Canyon Café, this would be the perfect occasion to take advantage of the beautiful spring sunshine and dine outdoors on the patio. Breathtaking views of the Catalina Mountains will be the icing on the cake. Bring your friends and family - this festive Easter Brunch begins at 11 am and will seat until 2 pm. The brunch is $45 per adult and $22 for children 12 and under.

Children are more than welcome to join for Easter Brunch; there’s something special in store for them as well. Just make sure they’re ready to race for Easter eggs! Easter Egg Hunts will begin at 11 am, and there will be one hunt every thirty minutes on the half hour until 2:30 pm. All the little ones need to do is stop by the hostess stand at the Canyon Café to pick up their complimentary ticket.

Call the Canyon Café at (520) 615-5496 to make reservations for Easter Brunch. For any other inquiries, please call the Concierge at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort at (520) 299-2020.

It’s that time again – spring is in the air! It doesn’t get much better than waking up to gorgeous, sunny weather and amazing eighty degree temperatures. Makes you want to lounge by the pool with a margarita in hand, doesn’t it?

It’s time to get out of winter hibernation mode and prepare to be brazen in that bathing suit. The weather may be setting off little alarms for some, but you don’t have to run yourself ragged at the gym in preparation for this weather. Take a much more relaxing route to get that same glow. Join us for happy hour; indulge at the Loews Lakeside Spa.

Beginning March 15, the Loews Lakeside Spa will be offering ‘Spa Happy Hour’. Three fabulous menu items are being served up for $75. Choose between a mani-pedi combo (on the rocks?), classic facial and a Swedish massage. You can always expect great deals at happy hour, so expect them here as well. You’ll be saving about $40 per treatment, which leaves you plenty of money to take to the Flying V for a cocktail afterward!

So cheers to a guilt-free happy hour! And unlike a bar happy hour, these options won’t go straight to the hips! These options are available Sundays - Thursdays.

Call the Loews Lakeside Spa at (520) 529-7830 to book your mani-pedi, classic facial or Swedish massage.
