New York Firm Purchases Tucson Resort and Prepares for Expansion and Renovation

TUCSON-Boutique Hotel Co., a New York-based hotel owner and operator, has purchased one of Tucson’s oldest resorts.

Boutique Hotel Co. bought the Westward Look Resort, a four-star resort located 10 miles north of the city in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The resort was sold by SHC Westward Look LLC.

“The acquisition of the Westward Look Resort represented a transaction with considerable value enhancement potential,” says Mark Gordon, managing director of Sonnenblick-Goldman’s International Lodging & Leisure Group, which negotiated the sale. “While the resort is in need of renovation, the opportunity exists, with a defined operating strategy, to create a unique conference center and spa resort.”
