A historic downtown hotel, which has operated for nearly 100 years, is getting new life.
Investors from Nogales, Sonora recently purchased the Arizona Hotel at 35 N. Sixth Avenue and plan a major interior renovation.
“It has a lot of potential and historic value,” said Marcel Dabdoub, the manager of the family-owned investment company. “We’re looking forward to joining others who are investing in downtown Tucson to make it vibrant.”
Specific details on what will become of the 97-year-old building are still being refined, Dabdoub said, but, as part of the renovation, the historic feel and look will be preserved.
